"Atonement" Director Joe Wright Calls Off Wedding To "Bond" Girl Rosamund Pike

Director Joe Wright met actress Rosamund Pike when she played eldest daughter Jane in his adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice," and they got engaged. Pike became famous when she played Miranda Frost in "Die Another Day."

A Daily Mail reporter writes this week:

I have further revelations following my report last week that the wedding between actress Rosamund Pike and her film director fiance Joe Wright had been suddenly called off.

It appears that Wright put an end to the September nuptials after 29-year-old former Bond girl Ros sent out hundreds of wedding invitations without his approval.

'The invitations featured a picture of them together in a hot tub,' says a pal.

'Joe dumped her for sending them without consulting him and she had to tell all the guests the wedding was off.'

To add insult to injury, Wright was then spotted cavorting with a handful of girls at his local lap-dancing club in Shoreditch just days later.

Last week's report, to which this was an update, said:

The 29-year-old star was due to marry last month but the wedding was called off at the last minute after Miss Pike told friends she couldn't go through with it.

According to friends, the actress is devastated about the split and cancellation.

Wright, 35, proposed on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy earlier this year and the wedding was to have taken place in England last weekend.

My source says: 'It's not common knowledge and only a few people know. Rosamund obviously wants to keep it as private as possible but she is devastated. She's a lovely girl and we all feel very sorry for her.

'She was meant to be out at a party on Thursday night but she cancelled at the last minute. She just couldn't face going out.'

Rosamund's mother, who had been planning the wedding, has been consoling her daughter and cancelling florists and cake orders.

Meanwhile, Wright has been hitting the London party scene. 'Joe was out four weeks ago at a party. He was surrounded by girls and ended up taking a group of them to a strip club. He's a regular there and all the dancers know him,' says my scantily clad spy.

The pair at the Venice Film Festival last August:

Well atonement suck!. He should go back to school.

[xpresv]

Wow, that's a lot of comments for two people I've never heard of...

[zenofabian]

This is a B.S. PR story about the break up. Rosamund is as classy as they come and Joe is a good guy learning to deal with being a Director in Hollywood. The simplest answer is that it didn't work out. They rushed into it and the pressures of working in the business took over.

[GardenGnomes]

I don't know about her, but he seems like a douche.

[MaracaKabob]

He is a very short little man with much to prove.

[jukesgrrl]

How do you know this? In the photo, she has on four-inch heels and they're the same height. Perhaps she's 6-ft. tall.

[sustainable]

What a babe, she can cry on my shoulder.

[adzeman]

Not knowing either, I am guessing she is better off without him.

[sssteverrr]

DON'T MARRY A GUY WHO OWNS A LAP DANCING CLUB, HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE.

[jukesgrrl]

It doesn't say he "owns" a lap-dancing club. To say a club is "his local" in English parlance just means it's the one he goes to in his neighborhood.

[AgathaX]

The invitations had a picture of them in the hot tub. Classy.

[assbite]

Who cares about him, I'll marry her (my current wife's approval pending)!

[LesKennedy]

I have the sneaking suspicion that there is more to this situation than meets the eye. Who are the sources for this story--her publicists, maybe? Her best friends? There are always two sides. Let's not jump to conclusions.

[GhostNyc]

I concur with your comments. There has to be more to this story that we just do not know, and may never know.

[Str8flush]

3 sides to every story - His Hers and the truth

[NotMcCain]

Austen note: Jane isn't the eldest daughter in "Pride and Prejudice".

[txgal44]

Then who is??

[IndependentMeans]

Yes, she is.

[LesKennedy]

Um, yes she is.

[peny]

Yes she is.

[hbw3]

Well, she can now "die" another day....

[ChiGuy]

He was waiting for an excuse. That's all.
Cheesy db.

[jj]

Sounds like he was just looking for a way out (before heading to the nearest strip club to console himself).

Which is all well and good, but making it the other person's fault because you want out is just gutless and juvenile.

[shengirl]

Maybe she can call up the former gf of George Clooney, who got dumped in a similarly abrupt and nasty way, and commiserate about the 2 jerks they got involved with. Narcissists, Peter Pans, and totally lacking in class.
