It was probably inevitable, but I’m still amused by the latest Jane Austen news (and that there is always fresh “Jane Austen news” is also kind of fun): Natalie Portman has signed on to produce and star in an adaptation of this year’s Austen mash-up by Seth Graehme, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Portman will play Elizabeth Bennet, who in this version will be fighting the undead as she simultaneously romances the arrogant Mr. Darcy.

I loved this book. I can't wait to see it as a movie.
