Factoids & Trivia

• This is the 2005 feature film adaptation of Jane Austen's *Pride and Prejudice*, not the film titled *Pride*. IMDb ID tt0414387 identifies the Austen adaptation.

• The production was filmed entirely on location in the United Kingdom, using historic estates and gardens including Chatsworth House, Basildon Park, Burghley House, Groombridge Place, and Stourhead.

• Chatsworth House serves as Pemberley, while Basildon Park represents Netherfield. Burghley House was used for Rosings Park, and Groombridge Place became the Bennet family home at Longbourn.

• The filmmakers aimed for a more youthful, energetic, and tactile version of the story than the stately Austen adaptations that preceded it. The moving camera is especially prominent during balls and crowded family scenes.

• The film was the first feature adaptation of the novel in 65 years, following the 1940 MGM version.

• Local people and members of a Napoleonic re-enactment society were used to give the village and militia scenes a stronger period atmosphere.
