Best Adaptation of the Decade

Better than Lord of the Rings, even.

CBC News - Film - Portman takes on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies film

Magpie is furious.

*blows a load in his pants*

It's like the perfect storm of awesomeness.

Is that book...good then?

I enjoyed the book very much indeed.

That Portman is in it... makes me want to see this even more.

No this is all so completely wrong. Jane Austen is rolling over in her grave.

Why would Jane Austen be rolling in her grave?

She has finally been made readable.
There will now be a first ever watchable film version based on her work.

She's probably smiling coyly in her grave.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance—Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature.

Seth Grahame-Smith once took a class in English literature.

The irony of this statement is so strong it must have been intentional. Yes?

Just picture a bit of a different wardrobe:

YouTube- michael jackson's thriller zombie dance

I don't think Jane is rolling; I think she's dancing....

So Wait.. Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Natalie Portman playes Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.. There's got to be a Star Wars Episode 1 reference there somewhere..
