This time I thought I'd update you all in what they're up to as these 5 P&P 05 Bennet actresses (with the exception of Keira Knightley and Jena Malone) as unknowns before P&P movie (ie. Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Talulah Riley) and then, post-P&P movie each had started to get wide recognition and more TV & film projects as well as critically acclaimed for their other roles (Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Rosamund Pike) as one of them had become an instant breakout star, it girl, and Oscar/Golden Globe nominee as well as BAFTA award winner (Carey Mulligan) in such as short time. The worldwide success of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film sure got each one of them a lot of recognition and attention they never had before even for its lead star Keira Knightley, who was already a big name from Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates movies prior to P&P movie. Also, for Jena Malone, who is a well-known, young veteran actress in her own right. They each have done very well individually after they were all cast in this film (and will definitely always be remembered for it) and after its released back in 2005 to its worldwide success that this film has continued to be to this day.
Anyway, if you're wondering what's new or what they're up to these days with their respective careers since P&P movie was released almost 6 years ago. Here's a compiled list of what they're doing now and what they'll be doing next to for their next TV/Film/Stage Play projects (with recent public appearances photos of each of the 5 Bennet girls along with links and additional info via IMDB)...
