The Big Year
Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson are at a crossroads -- one is experiencing a mid-life crisis, another a late-life crisis, and the third, a far from ordinary no-life crisis. From David Frankel, the director of The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me, comes a sophisticated comedy about three friendly rivals who, tired of being ruled by obligations and responsibilities, dedicate a year of their lives to following their dreams. Their big year takes them on a cross-country journey of wild and life-changing adventures. Rosamund Pike, Rashida Jones, Brian Dennehy, Angelica Huston, JoBeth Williams, and Diane Wiest also co-star.

British Actress Rosamund Pike Appears on Town & Country Magazine Cover

The Town & Country cover, which was shot in Beckley Park in Oxfordshire, England, by Koto Bolofo, features the elegant blonde seated on a bench in the stately home's gardens wearing a delicate Jason Wu lace top with a Dior Haute Couture embroidered tulle skirt and classic English wellies. Inside, the actress models ultra-feminine high fashions by Chanel ($19,445 ivory lace and tulle gown) and Monique Lhuillier ($9,490 silvery beaded tulle frock). The real showstopper is a glamorous peach and burgundy strapless tulle ball gown by Carolina Herrera ($6,990).

In the article, the actress discusses Hollywood and the range of roles she has tackled. Pike also makes one thing clear -- the key to success is being able to stand firmly on your own. "If you ever need a man to rescue you," Pike says, "you make damn sure you never have to be rescued again. You can take care of yourself." The actress was engaged to her Pride & Prejudice director Joe Wright, but it was called off last minute before the wedding in 2008.

The November issue of Town & Country hits newsstands Thursday.

Director Nora Ephron to direct a film version of 'Lost In Austen'

A film version of Lost in Austen has been in development for a while and British director Sam Mendes has been attached to direct it, but there wasn't any news of when it'll happen and start production until now. Variety reports that director Nora Ephron (Julie & Julia, Sleepless in Seattle) will direct “Lost in Austen,” a film adaptation of a cult British TV series that aired on the ITV network back in 2008. The plot involves a 21st century London girl (who’ll be a New Yorker in the film), who magically switches places with the heroine of Jane Austen‘s “Pride & Prejudice,” Elizabeth Bennet, and tries to ensure that events unfold as in the novel, but soon finds herself falling for the handsome but surely Mr. Darcy.

The original ITV miniseries of the same title (Lost In Austen) was written by Guy Andrews. The LIA 2008 cast included Jemima Rooper as Amanda Price, Gemma Arterton as Elizabeth Bennet, Alex Kingston and a pre-”Downton Abbey” Hugh Bonneville as her parents, and Elliot Cowan as Mr. Darcy.

Here's part of the article (via Variety)...

Pic is based on a 2008 ITV miniseries scripted by Guy Andrews. The story follows a modern Gotham girl transported into the middle of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."


"Lost in Austen" wasn't a huge hit for ITV but it was well-received by critics -- The Independent called it "Pert, warm and funny." It did have some star power, with Gemma Arterton playing the role of Elizabeth Bennet. Read full article here!

Rosamund Pike: 'I was amazed that Rowan Atkinson even knew who I was' (via The Guardian)

It feels strange to say that Johnny English Reborn is something of a revelation. It isn't the film itself – a tepid spy spoof sequel starring Rowan Atkinson and Dominic West, with the occasional blast of amusement and much slapstick. The unexpected element here comes in the form of Rosamund Pike, playing a top MI7 psychologist named Kate Sumner.

Pike provides both comic foil and love interest for Atkinson – all wide eyes, earnest expressions and fitted shift dresses. But her presence is never less than amusing; it's there in the tilt of her neck, the set of her shoulders, and, more than anywhere, in her face – the faint creases around the eyes and the corner of the mouth breathe humour into that famously crisp beauty. The result is quietly intriguing: perhaps Pike isn't quite who you thought she was. Read full  RP Interview here!

Rosamund Pike: women should be more ambitious (via The Telegraph)

She has acquired a reputation as a demure English rose, but actress Rosamund Pike has called on women to toughen up and flaunt their ambition.

“As a woman, you feel that you shouldn’t want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn’t it?” she said.

“But when you look up the definition, ambition is to achieve distinction in your chosen field and most of us would own up to that, wouldn’t we?

“So I’ve just decided to be a little bit less frightened and a bit less, ‘Please like me and please give me a job’, and a bit more, ‘This is my opinion and this is what I want to do.’”

The 32-year-old actress landed her breakthrough role as a Bond girl in the 2002 film Die Another Day. She went on to win plaudits for her performances in Pride and Prejudice and An Education.

In 2007, Pike became engaged to Joe Wright, who directed her in Pride and Prejudice. But Wright jilted her a month before their 2008 wedding, a humiliation for the actress who had already sent out save-the-date cards.

They have not crossed paths since but Pike told InStyle magazine that she has moved on. Read more here!
