The drama "The Libertine", which tells the story of one of the most odious and controversial characters on the British historical stage, Lord John Wilmot, was released in 2004.

In 2005, Rosamund took part in two films that were very different in style. In both, Rosamund, although she played minor roles, earned the approval of critics and audience recognition. In the traditional Victorian drama Pride and Prejudice, considered the best adaptation of Jane Austen, her partner was Matthew Macfadyen, the beautiful Keira Knightley, as well as Donald Sutherland and the legendary Judi Dench. In the fantastic horror film Doom, based on the game of the same name, the young actress played the role of Dr. Grimm, accompanied by Dwayne Johnson, Ben Daniels and Karl Urban.

From 2006 to 2010, the actress managed to star in more than ten films, and although her popularity outgrew her native Britain, she was not offered leading roles. However, as film connoisseurs noted, with her subtle acting, Rosamund added charm to every film in which she took part. Among the films of this period, the detective psychodrama “Fracture”, where the actress played the role of Nikki, the unfaithful wife of the hero Anthony Hopkins, and the tragic film “Fragments”, stand out. The film stars Stephen Dillane and Ayelet Zurer.

The parents gave their daughter an excellent education. Rosamund is a qualified cellist and pianist and speaks fluent German and French. Pike attended a prestigious school in Bristol. In her youth, she became interested in theater and played in amateur performances. At the age of 16, she was accepted into the famous National Youth Theater, where the girl managed to play for three seasons. Moreover, the girl received the main roles. In particular, she played the Shakespearean heroine Juliet.

At the age of 19, Rosamund made her debut on television in the film “Marriage in English” (1998). Then she appeared in a small role in the mini-series “Wives and Daughters” (1999). For this, she had to briefly interrupt her studies at Oxford. But after filming, the actress returned to her studies. In her final year, Rosamund landed the lead role in Tom Cooper's British miniseries Love in a Cold Climate (2001).
At the age of 23, Rosamund Pike passed the most difficult casting and received the role of the “bad” girl of the famous agent James Bond - MI6 agent undercover Miranda Frost, in the twentieth film of the official Bond series, “Die Another Day” (2002).
Interestingly, after filming, Pike joked about joint scenes with Bond, Pierce Brosnan: “We had fantastic sex.” But the film's producers decided that most of them had gone too far and cut off all the erotic scenes of Pike and Brosnan.

And then she played Annette Bennett, the sister of Keira Knightley’s heroine, in the popular film adaptation of Jane Austen’s bestseller Pride and Prejudice (2005) directed by Joe Wright. By the way, for some time Pike was Wright’s fiancée, but the wedding fell through.
Rosamund can hardly be accused of poor taste - each of her films is a quality film with a decent cast - “Fracture” (2007) with Anthony Hopkins, “An Education (2008) with Carey Mulligan, “Surrogates” (2009) with Bruce Willis, “ Jack Reacher" (2012) with Tom Cruise, "Armagedman" (2013) with Simon Peg and Nick Frost, "The Devil You Know" (2013) with Lena Ulin, "The Long Fall" (2014) with Aaron Paul and others.
