Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.
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.

Shooting will begin in London later this year. John exec produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.

Clark, who directed award-winning short "The Amazing Trousers," wrote the script with Andrew Kemble and John Pape.

"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," Furnish said.

And for those that have not heard about it, Pride And Prejudice With Zombies.

You have to forgive Dutch.

He's improved mightily since they taught him how to wear shoes and walk upright after instructing him on the finer points of the M-16 Rifle.

But he's an animal at heart. :-)

Nothing to forgive.  lol  I just don't like the idea of porn, which is great, getting mixed up with chick flicks, which should die.  lol   :p

All good porn has chicks, so I don't understand where the problem would be by calling them chick flics. maybe we can file them as chick flics (P) and chick flics (non-P)

then, I suppose, we'd have to classify chick on chick flics (P) and chick with chick flics (non-P)

man...this is confusing...

Not as short as watching "The Alamo " with John Wayne and the Mexican Army runs into Miniguns every time they charge.
