New P&P

Hmm you know with the new trailer out I am still not sure if I like the new adaptation of Pride & Prejudice or not. Lizzy looks like a cross between Jo from Little Women and Mad Cathy from Wuthering Heights.
I already was appalled when the first stills came out as the whole feeling of the costumes were all wrong. Especially Lizzy who is not yet one and twenty would have never worn dark colours (apart from being in deep mourning) at that time. And I have never seen so badly fitting costumes in a movie in recent years :s Did they raid an re-enactement store room?

And the sexual undertones really get on my nerves ... What did they adapt? Jane Austen's P&P or Linda Berdoll's The Bar Sinister?? They had the chuzpe to stage the scene of Lizzy's refusal of Mr. Darcy's proposal with an implied kiss (both moving their heads together as if they cannot resist each other). Let's face it folks, at that time Lizzy was so angry with Darcy she would have never thought about kissing him. Smacking him in the face would be more like it. *sigh* I hate it when ppl try to put things into a context that are just not there.
Perhaps I'm jaded ...
