Natalie Portman Will be Slaying Zombies
Uber-hottie Natalie Portman will soon be starring in the big screen version of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice… with zombies.
The Jane Austen/Seth Grahame-Smith mash-up, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, is a bizarre mix of period love story and flesh eating animated corpses. Natalie Portman will be playing the role of Elizabeth Bennet in the film adaptation, which is being produced by her company, handsomecharlie.
In the film, Portman’s character will be searching for love and independence in 19th century England during a deadly zombie outbreak. I’m really curious to see if they are going to go with love story/horror flick or comedy-horror/love farce on this one. Since I haven’t read the book, I have no idea of the tone of it, but there is really no way to take this kind of story seriously.
Annette Savitch, Portman’s handsomecharlie partner, stated:
“The idea of zombies running rampant in 19th Century England may sound odd, but it lends a modern sense of urgency to a well known love story.”
Um… what?

I agree it sounds pretty ridiculous. Natalie Portman is actually producing this one, and seems to really be excited about it, so who knows what will come of it.
A zombie apocalypse in 1800s England would be pretty damned devastating though, but how will they know who is a zombie and who is just really dirty?
Superb actress…what more can I say..Not many people can have so many different hairstyle. I have to say though, she is not a good comedian
Dumb. Why would Natalie Portman put herself in a zombie movie? Does being associated with Pride and Prejudice suddenly make zombies artsy?
