Pride & Prejudice actresses
Keira Knightley and
Rosamund Pike (aka the eldest
Bennet sisters'
Elizabeth and
Jane) are featured in a
new photoshoot for British actress
Emma Thompson's new
book and
charity project called, "
SAFE."
Emma Thompson, as many
P&P/Jane Austen fans know, starred as
Elinor Dashwood and wrote her
Oscar winning adapted screenplay to 1995's
Jane Austen film adaptation of
Sense and Sensibility (
FYI: According to her Bio on
IMDB, Thompson is now married to fellow actor
Greg Wise, who had played
Willoughby in
Ang Lee's
Sense and Sensibility (1995). Thompson and Wise have one child, Gaia, born in 1999. Interesting...I didn't know that...till now! Who knew
S&S'
Elinor Dashwood and
Willoughby would be a couple?! Well, not really the fictional characters per say, but the actors who played them...lol. Much like
P&P's own
Keira and
Rupert Friend) She has a
P&P movie connection too. She did an
uncredited and
unpaid re-write of the script (she received a "
Special Thanks" credit at the end of the film), one of the
two scenes that
Emma Thompson wrote was the scene in which
Charlotte Lucas tells Elizabeth Bennet that she will marry Mr. Collins. The other one is the scene in which
Elizabeth Bennet tries to tell Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and Darcy about Lydia's elopement with Wickham. In that scene
Keira Knightley's
Elizabeth Bennet, who
was walking in and out of the room was
Emma Thompson's idea according to
Joe Wright's
DVD commentary. She also co-starred with
Keira in
Love Actually and
An Education with
Carey Mulligan and
Rosamund Pike.
Anyway,
Keira and
Rosamund are featured in
Emma's new
book project featured in
SAFE website. The book will be launched in late 2010.

Carey Mulligan and Judi Dench too!
