Pride & Prejudice: A Latter-Day Comedy is a 2003 independent romantic comedy film directed by Andrew Black and produced by Jason Faller. The screenplay, by Anne Black, Jason Faller, and Katherine Swigert, is an adaptation of Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice set in modern-day Provo, Utah. The film stars Kam Heskin as college student Elizabeth Bennet whose dreams of becoming an author supersede the cultural and societal pressures to be married. Elizabeth tries to escape the advances of several bachelors, including handsome but haughty businessman Will Darcy.

Production

Director Andrew Black and his colleagues developed the idea for Pride & Prejudice while studying at Brigham Young University (BYU). After graduating, Black decided to stay in Utah to produce a film. Black's short film The Snell Show, having won Best Short award at the Slamdance Film Festival, aided Black in obtaining investors for his first feature-length film project.

The cast was obtained largely from Los Angeles and included members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The cast participated in LDS culture in Utah to better prepare for the project. To specifically prepare, Seale read Jane Austen's novel but did not watch previous film adaptations to avoid being intimidated by previous actors' performances. Heskin also avoided viewing previous versions.
