I'm sure it'll be just fine, but I'll miss Colin Firth playing Mr. Darcy :0)

And thought this was because someone else, too, saw the trailer on TMC for a personal favorite, the outstanding Garson-Olivier black & white 1940 film adaptation. Sure they are a bit long in the tooth, but the magic is winning.
Mary Boland's portrayal of the mother, Mrs. Bennett, is comic genius.
Aldous Huxley was one of the screenwriters. Huxley adapts Austin, go figure.

I'm happy about Judy Dench and Brenda Blythen but no one can replace Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy - he is too sexy. Jennifer Ehle was also really good.
Why do they have to make a new one?

That's what they said after the 1940 film version. Hollywood's MGM magic works in that one. You should see the exaggerated Adrian costumes, too.
The Ehle-Firth film version is probably the most true to the book, and I like it a lot as well. Still the 1940 is a class by itself.

Colin Firth will always be Darcy in my mind.

They're going to condense it and whatever they leave out will enrage me because i'm crazy like that...Gotta love the A&E version all kajillion hours...
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I don't think this book will lose a lot by being condensed. The main relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth goes unchanged for really long chunks of the book that they can easily lose in the movie.
I just wish that a little more of the trailer had the fun tone of the first bit- afterwards it became a tad melodramatic for my taste. And Keira Knightley's hair looks weird. But that's okay! Because it's Pride and Prejudice, which means I have to watch it.

True, bit sad though they are redoing this one AGAIN, she has so many amazing books that haven't even been touched yet, i'm still waiting for Northanger Abby, sadly I'll be waiting a looooong time...

this is my favorite book of all time, so they'd better not mess it up! (but, i'm having good feelings towards this one! haha) i'm still very content with the A&E version, because everything about it gave justice to the wonderful book.
however, one thing that i did miss in the book and tele-series were more passionate encounters. (we didn't get a kiss in the book from what i remember, and the only one in the movie was after the wedding. and it was a peck) at least the trailer makes it seem like the elizabeth and darcy relationship will be more physically expressed (as in, kisses and hand touches!) than in the past. which makes me happy!

It does kill me in the BBC version that they never TOUCH each other basically until they get married, but twas the culture of the time...

Well, maybe we can make a concession to modernity and let them hold hands during all those long walks they take in the book. :P
