The loooooong search for the undead-smashing literary heroine continues....It is a truth globally acknowledged the director in posession from the good script ought to be in want from the star. Consequently it is always that Twitch are verifying that Craig Gillespie has offered charge role of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to Gossip Girl's Blake Lively.If she signs on it will likely be a choice starring role for your actress, who we last saw as Carol Ferris in Eco-friendly Lantern (she can become Star Azure yet...) But it's also one that's been connected with and abandoned with a couple of her peers already. First inside the ring was Natalie Portman (who remains a producer), then Emma Stone and whispers of Scarlett Johansson and Mia Wasikowska. Did they do know something Lively does not?The presence of Lars as well as the Real Girl and Fright NIght's Gillespie within the helm (altering David O Russell) is reassuring, but it will likely be intriguing to determine which type of film they can spin within the one-joke source novel, put together by Seth Graeme-Cruz (who also composed the script).Be it passed you by up to now, it had been within the vanguard of pastiche literary zom-com mash-ups that briefly crazed in book stores a couple of years back. P&P&Z sees Elizabeth Bennet looking for love and independence just like a zombie plague erupts round her and American wildlife oddly starts turning up inside the Berkshire countryside. It absolutely was then your type of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, as well as, Abraham Lincoln subsequently subsequently: Vampire Hunter, also will a cinema in your town, because of Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.Shooting on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is pencilled looking for the beginning of 2012.
