Short Film News: Keira Knightley joins Colin Firth in 'Steve' directed by Rupert Friend

Posted by Le on Tuesday, September 28, 2010

As previously posted here, Rupert Friend Keira Knightley (P&P '05's Elizabeth Bennet) and Tom Mison (Lost In Austen's Mr. Bingley) is also in Steve. Very interesting! Check out the official site for Steve with P&P Actors in three different P&P versions (1995, 2005, and Lost in Austen 2008) are all in the same short film. Looks like we have Darcy 1995, Lizzie 2005, and Bingley (LA 2008), being directed by Wickham 2005...brilliant casting (though where's Jane or Lydia Bennet? lol) and director and keeping it in the P&P family, eh?

Here, I made a few screen caps of the images from the official site for Steve of Colin, Keira, and Tom below including 2 promo banners I made, lol...(updated 10/2 with new Keira Knightley and Tom Mison still...after the cut...)



They all look serious in their individual photos, don't they? To quote the Joker from The Dark Knight movie, "WHY SO SERIOUS?" lol...

Plus, I made or rather manipped 2 lil' Steve promo banners below...
