On this day (May 29th, 2007), exactly eighteen years ago, I started this little P&P fan blog. Wow, it's been 18 long years!!! I can't believe it's been 18 years already!!! It seems just like yesterday, I was a just newbie to Blogger...and was learning and figuring out how to post, let alone, add codes and contents to this blog. I never would’ve thought I'd be blogging about all things P&P, not too mention this long, but it's all because of my continued love and appreciation for this 2005 movie version of Pride & Prejudice and the amazing actors who portrayed my favorite P&P characters brilliantly on this 4th-time Oscar nominated film. I've really enjoyed blogging here and posting all things P&P (though in recent years it's been mostly about P&P actors and their TV & Film project news articles) and P&P/Austen related topics as frequently as I've been able to for all these 18 years. Well, you know what they say, time flies when you're having so much fun. Indeed, it had flown by so quickly as the 2005 movie has already celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2015 and has started celebrating its 20th year anniversary (though actual anniversary is not until in September [UK] and November [US]). In fact, Focus Features has already started with releasing an official 20th anniversary merchandise earlier this year, at the end of January. Then, they announced an Easter weekend re-release of P&P in theaters and more anniversary screening events have been added/scheduled for this month of May and June. It's currently showing in the UK and also in Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Focus also co-hosted a glamorous and unforgettable Pride & Prejudice anniversary Ball in Pasadena, CA about a week ago (May 22, 2025) in honor of its 20th anniversary and is releasing P&P's Original Soundtrack (in partnership with Decca Records) with 3 different versions in vinyl formats later in June 27!
I must say, I have loved and enjoyed posting here and keeping this blog updated as often as I could (or have the time to...which seems to be a lot lately, which of course, is in celebration of the movie 20th anniversary!) for years.

So, yeah, 18 years ago today (May 29th), I started this blog as just an archived for P&P movie news and articles...and now nearly 2 decades later, this blog is still here and has expanded to a much bigger and frequently (almost daily) updated blog with all things Pride & Prejudice (esp. the 2005 film and its actors/cast and their TV & film projects' news and more) and Jane Austen related news/articles/movies (ie. Becoming Jane, The Jane Austen Book Club, Lost In Austen, Aisha, From Prada to Nada, A Modern Pride and Prejudice, Austenland, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Death Comes To Pemberley, Unleashing Mr. Darcy, Marrying Mr. Darcy, etc.).

New Blog Header Banner: I've been so busy with a lot of things lately that, unfortunately, I didn't have the time to update and change this blog's layout and theme for today's 18th anniversary. So, I decided to just keep the same layout I recently did to celebrate the P&P 20th Anniversary Screening Events last March/April, including the header banner. I did fixed some broken images/links on the hidden (left) side bar and also a few extra pages (and added the 20th year anniversary page).
*This blog will be a work-in-progress (I may or may not fix/add more contents...we shall see!) throughout the rest of this month and upcoming month(s)...Will keep you posted and updated. More to come!*

For now...hope you like the simple new P&P 20th Anniversary Blog header banner (might change it soon...we'll see!), as well as the slightly re-organized (hidden) slim down side bars (to your left, click that bar = to view contents. It's still a WIP, so stay tuned…). THANK YOU.
