The bad news keeps coming for Jane Austen purists. First came word of the forthcoming book Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. Then it was the board game. Now it's a movie... with aliens.
Reports Variety, "Will Clark is set to direct Pride and Predator, which veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.
"'It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect,' [producer David ] Furnish said."
