She portrayed Kitty Bennet, the fourth of the Bennet sisters, in the Joe Wright-produced movie. “We talk about luck a lot in this job, and it is so true that if there is a little twist of fate, that means you happen to be in the right room at the right time,” she continued. “I was so lucky to get that job, I think that’s what always comes back to me.” And my career came from being able to participate in that.
“I remember Joe took us to the house with the sisters, and we spent a day just playing hide-and-seek and sardines in the house to try to make it feel like it was our house,” she said as she revealed details about the film’s production. Additionally, a lot of work was done to give us a sense of ownership over the narrative of these people. She described the experience as “a cast of people between the ages of 18 and 25 just getting to live together in various hotels in the British countryside for a summer.” It was enchanted.
She remarked, “We were all young, enthusiastic about the job, and we just loved each other and were having so much fun.” It’s also a timeless tale. It’s so romantic. In addition to Carey Mulligan, Rosamund Pike plays Jane, Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth, Talulah Riley plays Mary, and Jena Malone plays Lydia, the youngest. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn.
