As previously posted
here,
Colin Firth (P&P '95's Mr. Darcy) did a short film titled, Steve directed by Rupert Friend (P&P '05's Mr. Wickham), which was filmed in 4 days. Now, I've found out new info that 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...
Colin Firth
Keira Knightley
Tom Mison
Plus, I made or rather manipped 2 lil' Steve promo banners below...

Updated 10/2Sweet-Keira has this new
Steve still of
Keira and
Tom actually next to each other and in colored version...looks like they are playing the
couple part and

Anyway,
pirate_and_prejudice @imdb boards has more
Steve info.
Some facts:
Run Time: 16 minutes
Director: Rupert Friend
Starring: Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, and Tom Mison (not 100% sure on Tom Mison though)

Also,
Steve will be going to
London Film Festival according to
this site.
Keira is scheduled to attend the London Film Festival.
More additional info via Keira Web: The film will screen at the London Film Festival on October 21st and 22nd. The official site suggests a further release in 2011. It was filmed over four days in April or May this year, according to this interview with Colin.
Speaking of
Rupert,
Keira, and
Tom Mison in
Steve short film, they all previously co-starred in another short film,
The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of The Suicide Brothers, which
Rupert and
Tom co-wrote, and
Rupert co-produced, is
now available to down on iTunes. Watch the teaser

Rupert Friend just promoted the short film he directed titled Steve (see trailer here!) starring Colin Firth (in the title role), Keira Knightley, and Tom Mison on Rhode Island's local news ABC6 last night as it was screened in Rhode Island International Film Festival (one of the many festivals it screened/premiered to since last year).
