Netflix is trying its hand at recreating Jane Austen's iconic novel Pride and Prejudice - but how does their cast compare to the beloved 2005 film adaptation? Austen's 1813 novel of the same name follows Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with pressure to get married so that she and her four sisters don't end up destitute. Her older sister, Jane, eventually finds a match with Mr. Bingley, while Elizabeth is drawn to his initially haughty friend Mr. Darcy.
