Blake Lively has been offered the lead role in the film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies according to Twitch. They do reiterate that it is still unknown if Lively has accepted the role or not.
Written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Jane Austen, the novel tells the story of a woman’s quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead in vicious killers. The film is being directed by Craig Gillespie.
The strange thing about the film, is that Natalie Portman is producing the Lionsgate release. Why wouldn’t Natalie take the lead role in the film when it was offered to her? Does she have such low hopes for the film that she doesn’t want to be affiliated to it besides via an off screen acknowledgement? Emma Stone said no to it, as did Mia Wasikowska and Scarlett Johansson. Could this film already be “dead” before it even begins filming?
Not much information is known about the film and no other actors have been cast for any of the other roles. If Blake does accept, we should get a release date and other casting information to follow shortly after.
