The name’s Darcy. Fitzwilliam Darcy.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a reader in possession of a copy of Pride and Prejudice, must be in want of another.
Look at them: two classic novels by Jane Austen in editions that look like large Moleskines. The Winchester series is named after the county town of Hampshire where Jane Austen spent most of her life. The books contain the complete text in a modern typeface, introductions by Austen scholars, colored timelines and maps of Jane Austen’s world.
You can win one of these beautiful new books, shrink-wrapped and unsullied by grubby covetous hands, in the first of our weekly LitWit challenges brought to you by National Bookstore.
The first challenge: You Be The Producer.
You are planning a big-budget all-star production of Pride and Prejudice. You can work with anyone in the world. Whom would you hire to direct? Who would write the screenplay? And who would play the major characters? (Not just Lizzy and Darcy, but the important Bennets, Bingleys, Darcy’s relatives plus Wickham.)
You cannot cast actors who have already appeared in those roles in recent adaptations so there goes your mid-90s Colin Firth as Darcy obsession. However, you can cast Firth (and Keira Knightley, etc) in another role.
We will give this copy of P&P to the reader who “produces” the international version, and this S&S to the reader who “produces” the Filipino adaptation. Marian Rivera as Jane Bennet? Dennis Trillo as Mr. Bingley? It’s your cast. (Yes, you may cast actors from different eras, e.g. Nora Aunor circa 1980. If you’d rather produce S&S, we won’t stop you.)
Entries will be accepted until Thursday, 10 September. Winners will be announced the next day.

Pride and Prejudice is essentially about money, romance, sex and hot babes. Right up director Joey Gosiengfiao’s alley. Writer-director Danny Zialcita, also from the 70s and 80s, will co-write it with Gosiengfiao. Zialcita loved sharp repartees. All his characters had to be witty, with everyone sounding like Elizabeth Bennet – from Suzanne Gonzales to Dindo Fernando. (In Nagalit ang buwan sa haba ng Gabi, Laurice Guillen picks up the phone and says to her husband’s mistress, “Pwede bang makausap ang asawa ko, asawa mo, asawa ng bayan?â€) Here’s the 80s P&P extravaganza.
The cast – when they were all much younger:
Elizabeth Bennet. Cherie Gil. A reprise of her feisty yet impressionable character in Oro, Plata, Mata.
Fitzwilliam Darcy. Miguel Rodriguez. Tall, aristocratic, intelligent-looking. Rich hunk “Bullet†(To Love Again) redux.
Mr. Bennet. Rolando Tinio. Scholarly. That laugh mocks like no other.
Mrs. Bennet. Lorlie Villanueva.
Jane Bennet. Sandy Andolong. She was convincing as Cherie’s more sensible sister in Oro anyway.
Mary Bennet. Vivian Foz. Plain, forgettable.
Kitty Bennet. Jaclyn Jose. Yes, she was sexy and landi before all those telenovela matron roles.
Lydia Bennet. Rina Reyes. If she could flirt with a wooden statue (Machete), she would with military men.
Charles Bingley. Tonton Gutierrez. May tanga factor.
George Wickham. Dennis Roldan. Charming with a contravida streak.
William Collins. Michael de Mesa. He could pass for a clergyman. He could do naïve, too.
Lady Catherine De Bourgh. Liza Lorena.
Mr. Gardiner. Tommy Abuel.
September 8th, 2009 at 11:29
What about remaking Pride and Prejudice as a mid-90s Joey Reyes vehicle? You know he’d get the middle class sensibilities of the Bennets perfectly. We could call it…”Pusong Mapaglaro.”
Lizzie Bennet – Carmina Villaroel. Spunky and smart (a la Wating).
Fitzwilliam Darcy – Robin Daroza. So cute, and so wasted in those stiff-rich boyfriend roles he used to play.
Mrs. Bennet – Lucita Soriano. Faded beauty reduced to silliness and social climbing – Lucita could play this in her sleep.
Mr. Bennet – Tommy Abuel has this caring daddy roles down pat.
Jane Bennet – Mikee Cojuangco. The epitome of the very good and proper girl of the 90s. Not sure if she’d allow herself to be cast in a supporting role though.
Kitty Bennet – Kim de los Santos. You know she’d let her younger sister boss her around.
Lydia Bennet – Anne Curtis, circa TGIF “Reyshter Reyshter” days.
Mary Bennet – Jolina Magdangal, just to get her out of the colorful rags she used to sport.
Charlotte Lucas – Kristina Paner. She needed a comeback anyway.
Mr. Collins – Michael Locsin, of course.
Caroline Bingley – Chin-Chin Guttierez. She’d be delish.
Mr. Bingley – Matthew Mendoza. Meek, quiet, all he does is smile anyway.
Mr. Wickham – Jomari Yllana. Charming mo-fo with a touch of pambobola.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh – Celia Rodriguez! Just so we could make her reprise that scene in Katorse with her leopard dress and pet leopard, “Cheetah”, at Rosings Park.
The Gardiners – Edgar Mortiz and Mitch Valdez. Smart comic relief.

Pride and Prejudice ng mga Elitista, co-produced with Golden Lions Films, PCSO &Royal Era Entertainment
Director:Carlo J. Caparas Screenwriter:Carlo J. Caparas Publicity & Promotions: Lolit Solis and Ricky Lo
Elizabeth Bennet: Heart Evangelista (Elitista pero may katigasan ang ulo pagdating sa pag-ibig at kasimpayat ni Keira.)
Fitzwilliam Darcy: Richard Gutierrez (Si Darcy ay tall, handsome, proud at mapagmahal sa sister, di ba si RG mapagmahal din sa sisteret nyang si R?)
Mrs. Bennet: Anabelle Rama (Sabi nga ni Mikey, self-explanatory.)
Mr. Bennet: Eddie Gutierrez (Co-producer ang Royal Era, noh?)
Jane Bennet: Assunta de Rossi (Sya lang ang talent ni AR na maganda na, magaling pang umarte. Bagay rin sya as Charlotte, you know, marriage by convenience.)
Charles Bingley: Paolo Contis (Gusto ni Lolit si Mark H. pero may certain easiness at openness si Charles, di ba, kaya si Pao na lang, magaling pang umarte.)
Caroline Bingley:Bubbles Paraiso (Matigas ang beauty nya’t mukhang doble kara, di ba Jewel M.?)
Lydia Bennet: Michelle Madrigal ( Flirt si Lydia kaya bagay si Michelle, itanong nyo pa kay JC, Jeremy, Victor at yong nognog na basketbolista.)
George Wickham: JC de Vera (Si GW ay may good looks at charming manners gaya ni JC pero may pagka t_ _ idor daw sabi ni Wilma.)
Rev. William Collins: Hayden Kho (May nakiusap kay Lolit na bigyan pa raw ng chance at baka magawang dramatic actor daw ni Carlo gaya ni Pacman.)
Charlotte Lucas: Ruffa Gutierrez (27 lang si Charlotte at hindi naman for security reasons ang marriage nina R at Y pero producer si AR at kailangan kasali si Ruffa or else tatanggalin nya ang mga talents nya, di ba WG?)
Lady Catherine de Bourgh: Angie Ferro (Bagay na bagay sa role at highly recommended nina Carlo, Cecille at yong undersec. ng education na hindi ko matandaan ang namesong.)
Anne de Bourgh: Ina Asistio (Pakiusap lang ni Nadia, talent din ‘to ni AR.)
Georgiana Darcy: Jewel Mische (Iginiit ni RG kasi akala nya Georgina at kapangalan ng ex nya.)
Mr. Edward Gardiner: Tonton Gutierrez (Gusto ni Lolit si Christopher de Leon pero sabi ni AR si Tonton na lang mas mababa pa ang talent fee at talent din ni Lolit. Isa pa hindi raw OA si Tonton na gaya ni Boyet. Agreed na si Lolit para makaharbat ng malaki sa PCSO pero ang true reason ni AR stepson nya si Tonton, noh?)
Mrs. Gardiner: Miriam Quiambao (Mas bata kay Mr. Gardiner at fashionable at mukhang makakasundo nina Heart at Assunta, kaya bagay kay MQ na
talent din AR.)
Colonel Fitzwilliam: T. J. Trinidad (Mukhang 30 na at well-bred si TJ kaya lang handsome. Eh hindi naman gwapo si Col. Fitzwilliam. Pero tisoy din gaya ni RG kaya bagay silang magkamag-anak. Gusto ni Lolit si CJ Caparas, eh ang bata-bata nito at sumisipsip lang si Lolit kay Donna Villa. Talent din
ni AR si TJ kaya tapos ang debate in favor of TJ.)
Mary Bennet: Peach Caparas (Idea ni Lolit ito para may follow up movie daw si Peach. Inuuto na naman si DV para makaharbat. Eh, hindi naman yata kagandahan ang bata kung ikukumpara kina Heart, Assunta, Pauline at Michelle, kaya inokey ko na. Ayon nagvo-voice at piano lessons at panay ang acting workshops ni Peach dahil i-expand yata ang papel nya. Para ano pa ang pagiging screenwriter ng National Artist nyang pader, di bah?)
Catherine Bennet: Pauline Luna (Gaya rin ito ni Lydia na flirt kaya bagay kay Pauline, di ba JC, Kempee, Marvin, a certain mayor or vice mayor ng Bulacan at Dennis? Ipinaglaban talaga ito ni Lolit dahil gusto ni AR si Ehra Madrigal. Sabi ni Lolit, hello mukha bang 17 si Ehra? Natameme na si AR kaya win ang talent ni Lolit.)
Mrs. Reynolds: Jun Lalin (I know, very minor character si Mrs. Reynolds pero di ba sya ang parang nagbukas sa mga mata ni Lizzie sa mga magagandang ugali ni Darcy? Bagay na bagay kay Jun ang papel dahil he
was born to play it. Or is he “acting” it now, dahil gaya ni Mrs. Reynolds na
puring-puring si Darcy, ganoon din ang mga “praise” releases ni Jun kay RG.
Kung kaya nina Ogie at Michael ang gumanap na babae sa pelikula kahit mga berdaderong men sila, si Jun pa kayang berde ang dugo?)
P.S.
Ayaw pumayag nina AR, LS at DV na si JL ang gumanap na Mrs. Reynolds. Nagalit ako at ipinamukhang halos lahat ay mga talents nina AR at LS ang kasali at sa nag-iisa kong request, eh hindi ako mapagbigyan? I threatened them na hindi ko itutuloy ang co-production at magsusumbong ako sa mga powerful kong amigas tulad nina Manoling M. at Romulo N. Sabi ko pa, ibubunyag ko ang mga anomalya sa mga tv at film co-productions ng PCSO at Golden Lions Flims mula noon hanggang ngayon. Pero quime lang dahil baka madawit ang BFF kong si Manoling. Nangatog ang mag-asawang CJC at DV (legally married ba sila?), kaya sya na ang nakiusap kina AR at LS na pumayag. Ayon natuloy si Jun Lalin as Mrs Richards, ay Mrs. Reynolds pala!

Sense Sensibility
Adapted for the screen and directed by Jacques Audiard (to give him the chance Ang Lee had), Steven Soderbergh (just to get him back to do films again) and Alejandro González Iñárritu (to give it a more modern, almost ironically pretentious non-chronology narrative. This probably results to head-bashing and ego clash, but what the hell..).
Directors of Photography: Wes Anderson and Darren Aronofsky
(The rest of the characters in the novel, unadapted. Because adapted screenplay is protagonists-focused, and i think my Jacques Audiard is partial to this kind of style.)
Mr. Dashwood–Clint Eastwood
Mrs. Dashwood–Meryll Streep
Marianne Dashwood–Charlize Theron
Elinor Dashwood–Elisabeth Shue
Margaret Dashwood–Kristen Stewart
Edward Ferrars–Robert Downey Jr.
Col. Christopher Brandon– Philip Seymour Hoffman
John Willoughby–Julian Sands (I know, right?)

This is a serious homo-erotic movie set in 1800’s Philippines. The aristocratic Españols are just a perfect reflection of the British P&P. The idea is that the four brothers are closet queens among themselves. they never knew they were sisters until that one time the stately and unbelievably handsome Darcillano (Hola Darci!) made his appearance. The brothers’ puruntongs fell!

Oh Julia Stiles, yes for Lizzie. But I like to have Isla Fisher for Lydia, flighty and flirty. Amy McAdams for Jane Bennet! Yipee… Keira though was almost perfect for the role of Lizze but I think Stiles will be an equal match.
