I kid you not.

In the immortal words of the internet: lulz.

*scoffs* Pssh. Somebody couldn't think of a better idea and decided to make a bad joke out of a famous piece of Literature.
Ms Jane Austen would turn in her grave if she found out!
*scowls darkly*

That is perhaps the best thing I have ever heard.

Wow.

I honestly don't know whether to say "epic win" or "epic fail."
I guess I'll just call it epic and slowly back away.

A chick flick with brains? Is that even possible?

They could've at least named it better!

This is awesome on so many levels. Zombies make everything better.

This story has been circling for ages ^_^ Personally, I'm not bothered. True Austen fans will turn their noses up at it, of course. And those that hate Austen probably won't want to see it either. Methinks it will have a very small audience. Or maybe just a lot of people watching for a good old cringe
I think Austen would find this immensely funny!

lol, I think that's the point. :p

Ha, ha! I totally agree with Manny! I think that's where the zombie part comes into play.

I'm not gonna lie, I think this is pretty much the best thing ever. Zombies + anything = awesome. Victorian zombies + Jane Austen = seriously awesome. The book is almost definitely going to suck but the movie that they're going to make from it (apparently, directors are clamouring to get the rights to this, and I really don't blame them) will be all kinds of mind-blowing. Literally, I guess.

I'm not sure what a "true" Austen fan is (and what makes them different from the boring regular kinds of Austen fans) but I'm pretty sure the movie at least will do a decent run in theatres.

*gasp* This is sacrilege! *goes on rant about Jane Austen and how she does not involve zombies in her literature*

What's next, Oliver Twist is an orphan because of brain eating giant llama aliens?

O.O

That's so cool! And it explains everything too! Somebody's got to make that into a book!

I think that movie just kicked he's just not that in to you out of the first place spot of movies I have to see ^^

Muskets and zombies? This is going to be brilliant.
