Forget Zombies; Aliens Now to Invade Jane Austen
Filed under: Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, RumorMonger, Scripts, Remakes and Sequels
This and that volcano movies, his and her asteroid flicks, rival Capote biopics -- it seems only cosmically fair that we may be spoiled with forthcoming Pride and Prejudice riffs that include both zombies AND aliens. Better yet, what was Jane Austen's classic really missing if not the participation of Elton John?If Variety is to be believed, it appears that John will serve as executive producer and music supervisor on this live-action adaptation, in which "an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about." My God, it's as if they swapped out Beowulf in Outlander for P&P (and, for the record, I'm perfectly okay with that).
So be honest, which one are you guys and girls more excited for: corsets stained by the blood of the victims of the undead, or corsets stained by the blood of the victims of extraterrestrials? Whoever wins, I'm pretty sure we do too.

If they end up falling in love at the end, I will be thoroughly disappointed. Not that I am not already. I think this movie will be awful and the reviews will just be material for late night comedy skits.
