Will it be as good as the Colin Firth version?

I don't know. But the cast is amazing....Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland, Kiera Knightly and Rosamund Pike. And really, the Colin Firth version was only on A&E, and this is going to the big screen. As long as they are true to the book, and to the spirit of Jane Austen, I don't think we will have a problem.
