Natalie Portman takes on Zombies in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!!

pride

I read this story this morning, which was in Variety and I didn’t know what to think.

The story has been said to be an expansion of the timeless classic by Jane Austin.  The book tells the wellknown story of  a woman’s journey towards independence and love amid an outbreak  of a virus that turns the undead into killers.

Portman will play Elizabeth Bennet.

Anyone have thoughts on this?  Anyone read the book.  Curious to hear what other people think.
