I wonder whoever could even thought of mixing Jane Austin with Zombies is the rarest among the most innovative minds the world has ever produced. How could it be possible of a 1813 novel to be mixed with no other than Zombies? This must be the effect of good quality marijuana.

We have read this novel as a old day English novel with simple themes like marriage, women, English countryside.... the women's own pretty small but interesting world.

But this movie ( just the thought of it) is atrocious.

Now I think anything is possible.

waiting for the future release of...

King Kong and Spartacus,

The Terminator and The Bicycle Thieves

Psycho and The Sound of Music.......

I am short of ideas............boarders please help me to find more such juxtaposing GREAT and INNOVATIVE and WORLD CHANGING ideas...............

I like to see the story writer of this film getting the Nobel Prize in Literature...

Jane AustEn wrote about more than just marriage, women, etc.

She wrote about social change, hypochondria, sex, money, etc. She had a wicked sense of humor who was an equal-opportunity insulter. You might want to see the latest movie based on her work, Love & Friendship." You might also want to read her letters. She could be vicious when she wanted to.

That said, I loved this movie. I have added a copy to my Austen collection.

That would be Seth Grahame-Smith.

I'd imagine someone wanted to tell a Zombie story in the Regency era, and then had lightbulb moment of: Ah! I know a hook that'll get this sold!

Jane Austin has made more money for Hollywood than Akiva Goldsman, so, what the hell . . . ?!
