My Crazy Upsidedown World

“Socially, Mr. Bingley is not as sure footed as Darcy. He comes from a family that only made its money one or two generations before so they have a more delicate social position. His sister is very aggressive because she feels threatened by her roots”.

(Joe Wright, Director)

“I love shooting at dawn. I love the kind of preparation and the energy as you feel the sky lightening. I think it might be something to do with me old rave days, I don’t know. But I like dawns. People always say “well, you could just shoot it at dusk, and it’d be the same thing”, but to me it never looks the same.” - Joe Wright

I felt there was a certain realist element to [the book] so I decided to shoot the film in a realist style. I tried to put the audience right in there within that environment so we shot the whole thing on location. You’re then able to go in and out of doors and in and out of windows and really see and feel the environment for a full 360-degrees rather than something very static and stage-bound.

“Mrs. Bennet is not some sort of broad comic dowager, silly  creation. She´s terribly funny. But she´s a sort of heroic character because she´s got five daughters and, within a very short period of time, before they become date-expired, she´s got to marry them to save the family.”

(Deborah Moggach, Screenwriter)

“The most difficult was the scene with Darcy where it’s talking and dancing at the same time, and you know, you do it once, and it’s difficult enough to remember the steps, and then they do it and they take the music away, so that you’ve got to say the lines, so you can get the lines, you’re trying to remember what the music is and say the lines, and you’re trying to work out when you can say the lines, because wait a minute now I move away over here, and you’re over there.”

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

“This was all improvised, this little section. It was a much shorter section but Simon did it so well that we extended it”.
