Natalie Portman to Crunch Zombies in Jane Austen Film

So I've read a good portion of PnPnZ. I was fooled into thinking that it might be entertaining. It's about 80% PnP and 20 %Z. They should turn World War Z in to a mini series if they want to make a good zombie book adaptation.
This is the only way I'll ever see/read anything even mildly related to Jane Austin.
And it's not just zombies. In the book- there are ninjas.

No, you aren't the only one who liked the prequels. I just couldn't stop thinking, 'Padme needs to ditch the *****; now get back to Obi-Wan already!'Trivun said:
I think that at the very least, the premise is hilarious. But I'll wait for the reviews.
Edit; I actually liked P&P, maybe it's not the most exciting read in the world but it's a good book.
Ohhhh come on Jar-Jar wasn't that bad, I was more annoyed by droids acting as comic relief. A droid is not supposed to say "Uh oh" it's just not right man! At least Jar-Jar's species is a bit like that.hittite said:
But even the droids are topped by the unbelievable terribleness that is Mister Whiny Pants AKA Anakin Skywalker AKA Hayden "I can't act" Christensen. I mean, "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's soft... and smooth..." Good góds, who wrote that?!
But all that is countered by the awesome lightsaber fights and Yoda being an absolute god (with a lightsaber) instead of acting like a senile hermit, and of course the general awesomeness that is the Star Wars universe.
Anyway, I'm drifting off. I love Natalie Portman as an actress (looks wise, she's a bit meeh, potential but needs more meat on her), I've only seen snippets from the original P&P movie, but adding zombies in the mix should make it more... interesting, to say the least. Can't really be bothered about the books, maybe some day, but for now there is so much more awesome stuff to read.
Brilliant idea, or a mockumentary with movie-style flashbacks, narrated by the people who are being interviewed. I would watch that over and over and over and over again.agrandstudent said:
For those that haven't read the book, it sucks! And I'm far easier to please with literature than I am with film.
Give it your best shot Portman...I'll be waiting.

I gave my ex girlfriend this book as a present, she never read it. It was actually on the back of this book that we broke up really, apparently I didn't 'understand her'. I thought it was funny at least!
... Is that an actual film? I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not.Mullahgrrl said:
People saying the Star Wars prequels were enjoyable: You are crazy. That is all.
Fun fact: A sarcasm riddled post of mine pointing out just how terrible the Star Wars prequels were, over on the Black Library forums, prompted WHF author C.L. Werner to announce he is going to base a character off of me in one of his new books - he even said he might not kill him (he was quiet on the whole "torture and mutilation" angle though). This is the only nice thing I can say about the Star Wars prequels.
I heartily recommend The Professional as an example of one of the good films Portman has starred in.
Edit: Gah! How does this keep happening!? *flees from the avatar*
