UPDATE:
I just read that the film will be called Pride and Predator and that it will be an alien invader that starts to tear up the georgian era and not zombies.

Yep, you read the title correctly. Apparently miss Portmans next project is going to be an adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice only with flesh eating zombies attacking the corsetted ladies and dapper gents.
This is the plot description handed out to trade.
"Features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.

Now i don't know if Natalie is actually going to star in it or is simply producing with her new production company but i so hope she stars. This film sound like it could be hilarious and its about time someone did something interesting with those crusty old stories that seem to get churned out every second year.
