Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will be a Movie


Interesting news! They are making a movie of the bestseller, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” and Natalie Portman will star in it:

Portman will star in and produce “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” a film that is based on the bestselling book written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Austen. Lionsgate will finance and distribute. Quirk Books published the tome.

Though Austen’s name is on the book, Grahame-Smith took the liberty of adding bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies to the mix. Portman will produce through her handsomecharlie shingle with Annette Savitch, plus Darko Films’ Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm.

Described as an expanded version of the Austen classic, the book tells the timeless story of a woman’s quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers. Portman will play feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who is distracted from her quest to eradicate the zombie menace by the arrival of the arrogant Mr. Darcy.

Interesting, I wonder if a movie version will work?

Question of the Day


Since the Pride & Prejudice and Zombies novel is burning up the bestseller's list, I wonder... Are there other tales that can go through a Zombie remix?

Romeo and Juliet with Zombies?

Huckleberry Finn and Zombies?

Pippi Longstocking and Zombies
