Pride & Prejudice is a 2005 romantic drama directed by Joe Wright, in his feature directorial debut, and based on Jane Austen's 1813 novel of the same name. The film features five sisters from an English family of landed gentry as they deal with issues of marriage, morality and misconceptions. Keira Knightley stars as Elizabeth Bennet, while Matthew Macfadyen plays her romantic interest Mr Darcy.

Screenwriter Deborah Moggach changed the film's period setting to the late 18th century partly out of concern that it would be overshadowed by the 1995 BBC adaptation.
Bust of Mr Darcy played by Matthew Macfadyen. Keira Knightley's name recognition allowed the casting of Macfadyen, who was little known internationally.
