Ever wonder what it’s really like to take on an iconic literary character? Emmy winner Matthew Macfadyen recently shared some surprising insights into playing Mr. Darcy in the beloved 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
In a recent interview with CBS, Macfadyen admitted that as much as he respects the story and its fans, he “didn’t really enjoy” portraying Darcy opposite Keira Knightley. At the time, he felt inadequate and said “I’m not handsome enough for this role.” Can you imagine Mr. Darcy having self-doubts?
Macfadyen, who’s now 49, followed the legendary Colin Firth who played Darcy in the 1995 miniseries. He said later he and Firth “swapped stories for hours” about the pressures of the part. It makes sense – Darcy is one of the most famous romantic leads ever.

Every Game of Thrones fan knows how crucial Catelyn Stark is to the story, especially when it comes to the Red Wedding scene, and for those who’ve read the books. The Stark family matriarch has always been a key figure, and even years after the series ended, she’s still remembered fondly. This isn’t just because of the character’s importance but also thanks to the actress who played her.

Whether it’s good or bad, the cast is defined by the seasons and episodes. Unlike movies, TV series make audiences recognize actors for their long-term roles. So it’s a bit strange to think that the mother of the famous Stark could have been played by anyone other than Michelle Fairley.

The Emmy-winning actor looked back at the film where he starred opposite Keira Knightley during an interview with CBS Mornings on Tuesday morning.
“I didn’t really [enjoy it],” he admitted. “I feel bad saying that. There were moments I had a good time, but I wish I enjoyed it more. I wish I was less worried about it.”
Macfadyen added that he didn’t feel like he was the right choice for the role of Mr. Darcy. “I felt a bit miscast, like, ‘I’m not dishy enough,'” the Deadpool & Wolverine actor said. “But it worked out.”
And it sure did, as the movie went on to score four Oscar nominations. The British actor also confessed that he still gets excited when he’s recognized as Mr.

Matthew Macfadyen is looking back at his career and regretting not enjoying his experience filming 2005’s Pride and Prejudice.

As is the case with most below-the-line Oscar categories, bigger equals better when it comes to Best Production Design. The more lavish the sets, the more accurate the period detail, the more extravagant the designs, the more likely your film will win an Academy Award. Formerly known as Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, this prize goes to the production designer and set decorator, leaving the poor art directors on the outside looking in; perhaps that accounts for the title change. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Production Design.)
This prize is often paired with Best Costume Design. Most recently, “Poor Things” pulled off this double play (Zsuzsa Mihalek was the winning production designer). It joined 10 other films this century to claim both prizes. Here’s the breakdown with the production designers names in brackets.

Jane Austen’s celebrated second novel, Pride and Prejudice, is a timeless love story about the perils of judging someone before we really know them. Had Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz Jr. ever read it, he might have taken that lesson to heart and based his monthly reading lists for the state’s students on substance rather than title.
It’s not that the book, about a family with five daughters of marrying age living in the English countryside in the early Nineteenth century, isn’t suitable for high schoolers.

In the "Futurama" episode "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", Earth is invaded by a destructive species of gigantic, disembodied brains. The brains, called the Brainspawn, hate all forms of intelligence, and aim to rid the universe of any brainwaves other than their own. They also emanate an energy field that drastically reduces the intelligence of everyone on Earth; shortly after the invasion, everyone decides to play the lottery, buy internet stock, and join the Reform Party.
Only Fry (Billy West) is immune to the Brainspawn's energy field, thanks to an old time-travel incident that caused Fry to become his own grandfather (don't ask). Fry confronts the Brain Leader (Maurice Lamarche) in the New York Public Library, the ideal place for a brain to hang out. Initially, the Brain Leader psychically inserts Fry and Leela (Katey Sagal) into books like "Moby-Dick" and "Pride and Prejudice," but Fry eventually outwits the brain,...

Hulu may have started out as the redheaded stepchild of the streamers back in Netflix’s heyday, but it has stuck around long enough to have firmly established itself as one of the old standbys. It follows, then, that Hulu would have a veritable fount of LGBTQ content ready to compete with the robust queer catalogues available to subscribers of Netflix, HBO, and other platforms.
A brief perusal of Hulu’s LGBTQ section doesn’t disappoint, but digging in deeper will give you the best chance at a genuinely memorable watch. Right now, the Disney-backed streamer is hosting popular queer television classics, like “The L Word,” “My So-Called Life,” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” alongside fresher fare, including “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay” and “Killing Eve.” Recent Hulu originals, such as “Love, Victor” and “Shrill,” deserve singling out, if only because you know they’re buzz-worthy and readily available on the service.

Warning: contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 2.
Of all the separations shown in Bridgerton’s second season, the finale bust-up between Penelope and Eloise was perhaps the most painful. The former best friends who grew up across the street from one another had once been book-loving accomplices. They’d found solace in each other’s company, away from the ribbons-and-marriage-filled heads of other girls their age. When Eloise told Pen that she never wished to see or speak to her again, they weren’t the only ones heartbroken about it.
That heartbreak continues in season three, the first four episodes of which are now streaming on Netflix, while the second half will follow on June 13. Months later, Pen and Eloise are still not speaking, while Pen is also keeping her distance from Eloise’s brother Colin, the man she secretly loves, after he unwittingly hurt her feelings at the Featherington ball.
Of all the separations shown in Bridgerton’s second season, the finale bust-up between Penelope and Eloise was perhaps the most painful. The former best friends who grew up across the street from one another had once been book-loving accomplices. They’d found solace in each other’s company, away from the ribbons-and-marriage-filled heads of other girls their age. When Eloise told Pen that she never wished to see or speak to her again, they weren’t the only ones heartbroken about it.

Today they can't stand each other, but tomorrow these feelings turn into mutual interest and love. Such a plot is a win-win option for melodramas and romantic comedies.
In this list are shows that prove that from hatred to love is only a step or, well, a kiss.

IMDb Rating: 7.4/10
The central plot of Bridgerton's second season is reminiscent of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: he is an arrogant gentleman, she is a witty and independent young lady who is not afraid to speak her mind in society.
Viscount Anthony needs to find a suitable wife, and it is at this moment that he meets Kate Sharma. Their first meeting is full of contempt: each of them tries to put the other in their place. But Anthony and Kate are doomed to admit the strength of feelings that were initially masked by demonstrative antipathy.

The Irish author on the follow-up to his bestselling novel, being blanked at the Oscars and the joys of giving up drinking
Colm Tóibín does not approve of sequels. “It would have been a disaster if Pride and Prejudice had a sequel. It would have been a disaster if Ulysses had a sequel. Imagine!” the Irish novelist exclaims from his study in Columbia University, New York, where he teaches. “It ends with Molly Bloom asleep, then you’d suddenly realise, ‘Oh, my God, it’s starting another day.’”
Yet fans of Tóibín’s novel Brooklyn will be delighted to know that after a gap of nearly 15 years he has overcome these misgivings to write a follow-up, Long Island. Set in the 1950s, Brooklyn takes the fairytale of New York – an Irish girl who emigrates to America – and turns it into a heartbreaking story of homesickness and regret. Adapted by Nick Hornby...

Fresh off of their acclaimed turns in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy limited series comes news that the stars, Lily James and Sebastian Stan, will be reteaming. And this time, they can ditch the fake tats, bathing suits and chest pieces (one would assume), with them leading the horror flick Let the Evil Go West.
The movie is being directed by Christian Tafdrup, whose movie Speak No Evil has an American remake coming out this fall.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Let the Evil Go West follows a railroad worker who stumbles upon a fortune under deeply disturbing circumstances. As horrifying visions and manifestations drive him toward madness, his wife becomes convinced that an evil presence has attached itself to their family.
Sounds pretty cool, right? Sebastian Stan is no stranger to the genre, having starred in the well-received Hulu horror flick Fresh. Lily James also has experience with the genre,...

The Star Wars film series is still expanding and has grown in recognition over the years. Innumerable actors have contributed to the property as the galaxy far, far away continues to grow through projects for both small and large screens. Some of them even lose track of how they came to be cast in the first place. Take Keira Knightley, for example.
Known for her acclaimed performances in Pride and Prejudice and The Imitation Game, the actress, 39, also had a role in the Star Wars film franchise that was a long-kept secret.

Surprisingly, Knightley’s involvement in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) wasn’t a big deal at the time, as she was not a known face playing a bit part in the background. Even more intriguingly, she was cast for the role because of how much she resembled Natalie Portman when...

What would movies be about if not for love? Since well before the days of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca,” romance has driven countless classic stories, setting up some of the highest highs in cinematic history to follow. Be it Cary Grant and Grace Kelly seeing stars in “To Catch a Thief” or Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal disturbing diner patrons in “When Harry Met Sally,” the 20th century was chock full of iconic romances that helped humanity fall in love with the movies. Of course, those titles were dominated by white artists telling largely heteronormative tales — meaning many (but not all) of the best and most inclusive romances have arrived this millennium.
Now, the best romance movies of the 21st century both resonate and surprise, showing audiences characters they might recognize from their own lives in new and surprising ways. Yes, finding “the one” is exceedingly well-frequented thematic territory,...

Watching characters from Bridgerton and other period dramas whirl their prospective love interests around the ballroom floor has inspired fans to take up Regency-era dancing themselves, a UK-based dance teacher reports.
Historical dance teacher Lottie Adcock told BBC Radio York that she has seen a rise in the number of students wanting to learn the style of dances seen in Bridgerton, any number of Jane Austen adaptations and other period dramas set in the Regency era of the early 1800s. She added that the average age of prospective students had also dropped.
Adcock runs a school called Dance the Past and she explained: “Regency dancing is definitely having a resurgence and the people who watched Mr Darcy think, ‘Actually I want to have a go at doing that.

There have been a whole host of movies featuring Frankenstein’s monster. The first appeared in 1910 and the most famous and best is still 1931’s Frankenstein. Its sequel in 1935 – Bride of Frankenstein – is another classic but there’s been probably more misses than hits since then. In 2013 Frankenstein’s Army had some cool ideas but didn’t hit the heights it perhaps should have while the following year’s I, Frankenstein was a fun, if throwaway, action horror.

For generations, every reader repeated the same phrase, “The book is better than the movie.” The phrase became a critical reflex to some of the most mediocre adaptations until Hollywood decided to not cut corners and genuinely pay more attention to the source material. As a result, fans raised questions when books turned into movies. Until the entertainment industry did justice to the books justice by creating memorable movie or TV Series adaptations such as The Lord of The Rings, The Godfather, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, and so much more.

Love & Jane by David Weaver hints towards the escapist nature of literature, and I do not mean this as a bad thing. Escapism, as I believe it to be, is an innate facet of our human nature. A manifestation of our self-preservationist instincts, ‘escapism,’ despite the negative connotations people attach to it, has been the very reason why art came into the picture. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I do think that the escapist nature of mankind is what more or less birthed creativity. Perhaps David Weaver tried to address the character’s escapist nature in Love & Jane. Jane Austen’s works are considered quite intellectual today, but back in the hyper-conservative British Regency era, they served as an escape for women, hinting at equal rights for women and satirizing the patriarchal status quo. While not inherently a feminist, Jane’s work did walk the line between realism and escapism,...

Before embarking on his acting career in the British theater, Tom Hardy was a troublesome youngster, expelled from three different schools. He gained notoriety and acclaim in the film industry after notable performances in the 2001 military film Black Hawk Down and the television miniseries Band of Brothers. With that said, he was rejected for a role that made Matthew MacFadyen one of the best actors ever.

Eventually, Tom Hardy further cemented his legacy with roles in films and series such as Mad Max: Fury Road, Peaky Blinders and many more. Therefore, his excellent acting skills can never come under question, but sometimes even he doesn’t get the role he desires.

It is a truth universally acknowledged…that 19th century author Jane Austen wrote some of the all-time great romances. So using her work as a jumping-off point for four Hallmark Channel love stories makes perfect sense. Here are the swoonworthy titles airing every Saturday in “Loveuary” (aka February). Paging Mr. Darcy “I will not be dancing, dressing up or pretending to be a teenaged heroine husband-hunting in a dead century,” declares scholar Eloise (Mallory Jansen), scoffing that the conference she’s attending is less of an academic event and more “like Comic-Con for Jane Austen fans.” But once she’s assigned a “guest of honor liaison” outfitted as Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Darcy, Eloise starts to realize her own, er, prejudices may be why she’s still alone.

What’s in a name, Shakespeare once asked. British actor Tom Hollander found out unexpectedly that a name can mean millions of dollars, as he accidentally received fellow actor Tom Holland’s paycheck for a box-office bonus payment for The Avengers.
Hollander is best known for his roles as Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice and Quentin in The White Lotus. He revealed the pay snafu on the Wednesday edition of Late Night with Seth Meyers, noting that it’s not an infrequent mistake.
“I’m introduced to somebody’s very, very excited, then confused, then disappointed, children,” Hollander said.
Hollander’s talent agency confused the two actors, who, at the time, were represented by the same agency. Hollander said he received an email advising him of a box-office bonus payment.
“And I thought, ‘I don’t think I’m in The Avengers. It was an astonishing amount of money,...
