There is a blogger with a contest and to enter all you have to list is who you would cast. The winner will be randonly selected. Your suggestions have to be singers. Here is the website http://janitesonthejames.blogspot.com/
So who would you cast
So far I have
Mr. Darcy - Jim Sturgess
Elizabeth Bennet - Fergie
Mr. Bingley - Dhani Harrison (George Harrisons son and a great singer/musician)
Jane Bennet - Rachel Woods
Mr. Wickham - James Blunt (this is my favorite choice he is Mr. Wickham)
Lydia Bennet - Hillary Duff
the following are my dh suggestions
Mr. Collins - Clay Aiken
Mr. Bennett - Willie Nelson
Mrs. Bennett - Dolly Parton
It will be fun to see who others see in these roles.

(Of course, if I were making a new one... I need to find a role for Victor Garber...)

I have seen the Bollywood one and didn't last through the movie, just not my taste. The blogger is giving away a different musical version CD that has been created (no lack of Jane spin-offs) Here is the website with information on the CD

Fergie? As Elizabeth Bennet? Ew. I'd have to skip that one. Clay Aiken might make a good Mr. Collins, though.

for Mr. Darcy: Andrea Bocelli's voice, but, physically, Colin Firth (he just embodies Mr. Darcy to me and I can't picture anyone else in the role).:001_tt1:

I'm still thinking about the rest!
