Thursday night saw the red carpet rolled out again at the Savoy movie theatre for the latest Irish film premiere. A plethora of paparazzi were lined up to snap some cast a crew of Pride & Prejudice, who flew into Dublin for the event.
Before the movie, TV presenter Caroline Morahan introduced the film stars, with Matthew MacFadyen, who plays Mr. Darcy, getting huge support from the females in the audience. Swoon! Rosamund Pike, who plays Jane Bennet, looked amazing in a red and orange Prada number.
A romantic story in all it's period drama glory with great performances from stalwarts such as Donald Sutherland, Judie Dench and Brenda Blethyn, as well as the aforementioned younger stars.
The feel good factor of Pride & Prejudice is high on the scale. It's humorous, witty and an all round nice movie. You could bring your granny to it and she'd love it. No sex or violence here, thank you very much.
As a few people lingered in the theatre to compose themselves and wipe away a few stray tears, a select number of guests attended the after party in The Front Lounge on Parliament Street. Delicious Jameson cocktails were mixed with fervour as guests mingled and tried to get up close and personal with Mr. Darcy.
The movies producer Paul Webster and director Joe Wright, were there with Jena Malone, who plays Lydia Bennet. Author Kate Thompson, models Lee Bradshaw and Fergus Kiely (who's just back from a 2 year stint in Australia), Robbie Fox of Renards, Kieran Tobin from Irish Distillers and his lovely wife Carol, Donagh and Kay Lane, producer Bill Hughes with pal Paddy Bollard and Peter and Rosemary O'Connell.
Pride & Prejudice opens nationwide on September 16th.
