Everyone is familiar with Jane Austen's classic "Pride and Prejudice". Most of you are aware that a parody was written by Seth Grahame-Smith called "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". What you may not know is that the book became a "New York Times Best Seller". What you don't know is that they are turning the book into a feature film! (Quirk Classics is also releasing a prequel in 2010) Natalie Portman has been cast (and will apparently produce) as the latest Elizabeth Bennet due out in 2011, distributed by Lionsgate - except this time, her goal is to wipe out the zombie menace. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of zombies - I am officially beyond stoked for this movie!

In a conversation with MTV news Harold Ramis has confirmed a new Ghostbusters movie is in the works. The Original cast is expected to reprise their roles with their characters becoming "sage mentors" to new a new team, in a passing of the proton packs to a new generation of Ghostbusters.
Though the first draft of the script is apparently still in the works, Judd Apatow is signed on as at least a producer so thus far the casting rumors have been hovering around members of the "Apatowverse" Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen being tapped to take up the fight.
Taking into consideration the track records of the parties involved, I believe this will be a worthy sequel/reboot of the franchise and I'm actually enthused about this project coming together.
What do you think?
