Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is moving ahead on becoming a feature length movie. A strange combination of English romance novel with a flesh eating twist.
Natalie portman will play lead in the Jane Austen zombie fest.

David O'Russel is set to direct the movie with such titles as Tree Kings and I Heart Huckabees to his name.

What do you think? Should this classic novel be left to a reading material or is this the new generation of screen writing combining a classic love story with a bizzare twist in the mix to create a movie so unthinkable that it actually could work?

I bought it for my dad who tends to have similar tastes to me- he said its good for maybe the first third but then the 'gag' (for want of a better word) just gets old.

This is the most stupidist idea for a movie even worse the idea put into comic form this movie will leave a sour taste in anyones mouth who watches this crappy . I couldn't stand the concept next it will be the Grapes of Wrath: revenge of the Zombies / bad taste in mouth!!!!

I'd rather it be this book turned into a movie than "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters." It's the same author of this book. I think it'd be more entertaining as a movie than as a book.

When you read a book, depending on how fast you read, this one in particular, could take 5 hours on average (not counting breaks). Unless you're really into it, it'll get old fast.

When you see the movie, it'll be half the time of that and cut a lot of stuff from the book out. So it's all good lol

Freakin' sweet. Read the book and well, I'm not surprised they're making a movie. I'm slightly looking forward to it.

Only thing I can say is: if you got a gf, spouse, or a cinema-loving mom, this'll be a good movie to freak them out.

My son and his wife read it and loved it. I have not had a chance to read it, but if you like World War Z, you will probably like this book as well.
