Poor Jane Austen...
First, it was zombies. Now, it's Predator.
It might prove something of a boon to those who reach for the remote control when yet another costume drama comes on television: Elton John's Rocket Pictures is developing a new spin on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this time featuring a nefarious seven-foot extraterrestrial with hideous mandibles and a penchant for human blood. Yes, it's Pride and Predator.

...I need to read this book, don't I. I keep hearing about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but my brain just can't wrap around...

Darcy. Killing zombies. With a katana.

Can there please be a gun-laden chase in a phaeton, too?

That's the fanservice-for-(straight) girls equivalent of these games.

Which are finally getting an American release! :D

I hope this doesn't mean that the P&Pw/Z movie won't get made. Because, imo, zombies > aliens for sheer cracky goodness.

Gyah. I kept reading that as "Elton John's Pocket Rocket Pictures...." I think I scarred myself for life. D:

Oh my God, I really hope this is becoming a thing and well see something like Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein or something soon.

Personally I'm up for a Pride and Prejudice fighting game, along the lines of Super Smash Bros.

That's a set-up for a Keira Knightly joke if I ever saw one.

Awesome! Also, Elton John's Rocket Pictures is the best name ever.

I'm genuinely sad that this isn't going to be what I originally thought it would be. I really wanted to see Darcy played by a Predator. :(

I can totally be amused and want to get P&P with Zombies, but this is just too much fuckery.

Next up: Miss Dashwood is introduced to the girlish art of necromancy in "The Sixth Sense and Sensibility".
