they have made the series into a movie..starting with ''A Great and Terrible Beauty''.

This is awesome though :)

Sorry to disappoint, NellieLestrange....but the movie version has been scrapped and will NOT happen. Libba Bray announced it officially in July on her website. YouTube won't let me put URL addresses here, but if you search her blog for libba-bray.live journal "R.I.P. movie version" posted July 23, 2009, it is all explained there. Sad news, I know, but alas, it's true. I am very glad, however, to know you liked my video. Thank you so much for commenting--I appreciate it. :)

You know, Winona Ryder probably has the best clips for Pippa. Apart from being strikingly beautiful, she also looks particularly charming in periodic films she's been in like Age of Innocence or Little Women, but then you see her in Dracula and not only is it set in the late Victorian era, but you get clips of a corrupted Pip! Genius!

So true FantasmaLuna! Thank you very much for your comments. :)

I like your cast, and the song is super. But keira is to pretty to play ann. Ann is not so beautiful

[dra1000]

Thank you for your kind words, Lollita5567--I'm very glad you like the vid & the song. I realize Ann is not beautiful, but I've explained my reasons for choosing Keira before til I'm exhausted. It's all about creative representation. It's not easy to find pics of a chubby girl in period clothing, for one thing. Also, who am I to decide what is "pretty", "plain", "chubby", or "beautiful"? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Keira in Pride & Prej. to me appears more "plain" than usual. :)
