Doesn’t it just :?
Hmmmm just as long as they still cast Colin Firth as Mr Darcy and he still comes out of the lake with his shirt wet and clinging to him, I will love it just as much as the original :)
Even if he’s a zombie? :shock: :lol:
Hmmmm, well, if I get to have my way with him :wink:
But on reflection, I would much prefer him living and breathing
Lol I need a life

Natalie Portman to slay zombies in Austen adaptation
Natalie Portman is set to slay the undead in a movie adaptation of best-seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it is reported.
Portman will play feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, according to trade publication Variety.
The novel, by Seth Grahame-Smith, takes Jane Austen’s classic and adds a new subplot in which the story takes place as the dead rise from the grave.
The five Bennett sisters are all trained in deadly martial arts.
Portman is also set to produce the film for Lionsgate.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which was first published in April 2009 by Quirk books, got to number three on the New York Times best-seller list.
A prequel has been announced, Dawn of the Dreadfuls, which is due to be published in March 2010.
Quirk books have also released another novel based on an Austen work, entitled Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
Jane Austen would love it. She was always a feisty bint and loved whims and inconsistences and a lovely juicy bit of gossip……..not forgetting the nonsense of course, you cannot forget the nonsense.
