We don’t need to go over the endless iterations of Pride and Prejudice in film and television because snore and also because obviously and then finally because I provided one link, which is enough. “This-a book-a is-a popular among-a those looking to cash-a in on timeless themes without-a having to think of their own-a plots!” That was an unkind caricature of an Italian pizza chef, probably, whose reading of the situation I agree with. This time Jennifer Love Hewitt, keeper of The Client List HERSELF, is involved! And also Lifetime! From The Hollywood Reporter:
Lifetime is looking for a new Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
The female-skewing cable network is teaming with Jennifer Love Hewitt to develop Darcy’s Town, a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s literary classic Pride and Prejudice set in a small Virginia town.
The Lifetime drama is being penned by Sheryl Anderson (Charmed), exec produced by Hewitt and hails from the actress-producer’s Fedora Films and Cineflix. Jeanie Bradley, Fedora’s head of development and production, brought the project to Lifetime.
BUT HOW WILL THEY UPDATE IT THIS TzzzzZzzzzZZZZzzz. This is not going to be good, probably, I think it’s safe to say, so maybe a better question is: What is your DREAM Pride and Prejudice adaptation? Does it take place in space, on a spaceship? But the players aren’t humans, they’re dogs? Because humans have died but before they died they put a bunch of human brains in dogs heads, so now dogs are humans but with dog bodies? And they have to live in space because Earth has been destroyed? If that’s your dream Pride and Prejudice remake then I agree. If it’s not, what is it? You have one, right? It’s ok if you’ve commented with your dream Pride and Prejudice adaptation before, you can just copy and paste so we have them all in one place and know where to find them!! #121212

“Too exciting! Can we get Zach Braff in here to neutralize this thing?”
-Hollywood
Oh GOD facetaco. NO. NO, YOU GAVE THEM THE IDEA THEY WANT, NO!
Zach Braff as Mr. Darcy and Zooey Deschanel as Elizabeth and BARRRRRRFFFFFFF
Well Clueless was the best Emma remake. Hmmm. My ideal remake of P&P would be a gay version. Have they done that yet? Preferably a gay version with Colin Firth getting out of water again. I also think it should be extra sassy if it’s gonna be gay. Like sassy to the point where all you hear are a bunch of S’s and you have to have subtitles.
Pride & Fabulous
The new Bennet bro’s are gonna be SUCH womeeeeen.
My mind wants to tell me that there has been a gay version. But I don’t think there has, and that’s A TRAVESTY.

Just kidding.

Pride and Prejudice are twins who have always had a troubled relationship ever since their parents were killed in a car crash and they were sent to live with different foster families. Now Pride has taken over the land development business started by his foster family, and is intent on tearing down the old warehouse where Prejudice practices with her dance crew. Can Prejudice save both her warehouse AND her relationship with her brother?
YESSSSSSSsssss!
I’ve never read Pride & Prejudice. I should probably just wait for this Jennifer Love Hewitt version.
I am pro any remake of anything as long as I can sum it up to people as x IN SPACE.
A group of lions are forced to question their social norms and longstanding beliefs when a lioness wants to marry an antelope.

Breaking news: they just found Darcy.
“Darcy’s Town”? let me guess. he’s a sheriff….
I am ALL IN if we can get Ted McGinley cast as Sherriff Jefferson D’arcy
Obviously it’s going to be a police serial, since that is the only thing you can do with classic stories.
My ideal version would be set in outer space, maybe on the space station from Xenon: Girl of the 21st Century, and it would be gender reversed. So instead of five sisters it’s a futuristic five-piece boy band and they’re played by Joe Manganiello, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alexander Skarsgard, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Max Greenfield. Their manager is a high-strung robot voiced by Alan Cumming and he’s convinced the only way for the band to achieve fame is to marry them off to super rich space-ladies.
Luckily, Michelle Williams and Rashida Jones arrive at the space station, but there’s a misunderstanding where Rashida Jones insults Benedict Cumberbatch’s dance moves but it’s only because she has the space equivalent of jetlag and they eventually fall in love and get married on the moon.
Some please write this story in full. I don’t even need a movie, I can picture all the actors in their roles.
This is a perfect movie.
Put me down for $50 in the kickstarter to make this REAL. $100 if we can get Tilda in there somewhere.
Tilda will be Astronaut Commander Lady Catherine De Bourgh.
As someone originally from “a small Virginia town” I am pre-offended by this project.
People from Virginia are offended by a LOT of things, including the following:
-Swearing (it’s illegal)
-Nudity (also illegal)
-Tramp stamps (also illegal)
-People calling their state a state (even though it totally is)
-Progress
Also when people lump Northern Virginia in with the rest of the state, we get offended.
I have done been schooled about my home commonwwealth’s 100% monolithic culture and population. State. I mean my home state’s 100% monolithic culture and population.
Ha, as someone else originally from a small Virginia town I will probably watch this because I really love this place.
Oh I will TOTALLY watch this too.
Now with 100% more vajazzling!
