Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a 2009 parody novel by Seth Grahame-Smith. It is a mashup combining Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel 'Pride and Prejudice' with elements of modern zombie fiction, actually crediting Austen as co-author. In case you're wondering what makes this a comic book movie, May 2010 saw the publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel with acclaimed comic writer Tony Lee adapting the text and art by Cliff Richards. Here is an excerpt of the report from Variety.

Lionsgate has tapped Emma Stone as its Elizabeth Bennet for "Pride, Prejudice and Zombies."

Craig Gillespie is directing. Seth Grahame-Smith, who penned the original tome, is writing the script with Marti Noxon.

Fantastic book! Elizabeth and her sisters are purely brutal in it.
I think if she can do in English accent she would be perfect.

Wasn't Natalie Portman attached to star in this at one point? Oh well. Ms. Stone will do a good job. Also looking forward to the other Grahame-Smith movie in the works - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Natalie Portman dropped out due pregnancy but still remains a producer. I agree. If she can do a English accent she will be fantastic.

@ComicFan69: apparently, they turned it into a graphic novel, qualifying for CBM status.
