Austen lovers beware
If you love Jane Austen AND zombies, then you're in for a treat. But if you only love one of those two things, steer clear of this one.
Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, conveniently out of copyright, is being turned into a horror story and movie called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Apparently spunky Mr Darcy teaches the Bennet sisters to fight zombies like Japanese ninjas. Cool.
TV comedy writer Seth Grahame-Smith says about 85 per cent of his novel is from the original text.The book is due to be published in April and Hollywood studios are reportedly already bidding for the film rights."It quickly became obvious that Jane had laid down the blueprint for a zombie novel. Why else in the original should a regiment arrive on Lizzie Bennet's doorstep when they should have been off fighting Napoleon? It was to protect the family from an invasion of brain-eaters, obviously."
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies??
"Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity."
