Blake Lively For Jane Austen & Zombies?

Offered Elizabeth Bennet role in P&P&ZIt is really a truth globally acknowledged that the director in posession of the good script should be in want of the star. As a result it is the fact that Twitch are confirming that Craig Gillespie has offered charge role of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to Gossip Girl's Blake Lively.If she signs on it will be an option starring role for that actress, who we last saw as Carol Ferris in Eco-friendly Lantern (she may become Star Azure yet...) But it is also one that is been associated with and abandoned by a few her peers already. First within the ring was Natalie Portman (who remains a producer), then Emma Stone and whispers of Scarlett Johansson and Mia Wasikowska. Did they are fully aware something Lively does not yet?The existence of Lars and also the Real Girl and Fright NIght's Gillespie in the helm (changing David O Russell) is reassuring, but it will be intriguing to determine what kind of film he is able to spin in the one-joke source novel, compiled by Seth Graeme-Cruz (who also composed the script).Whether it's passed you by to date, it was in the vanguard of pastiche literary zom-com mash-ups that briefly crazed in bookstores a few years ago. P&P&Z sees Elizabeth Bennet trying to find love and independence like a zombie plague erupts round her and American wildlife strangely begins showing up within the Berkshire countryside. It had been then the kind of Sense and Sensibility and Ocean Monsters, not to mention, Abraham Lincoln subsequently: Vampire Hunter, also is going to a cinema in your area, thanks to Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.Shooting on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is pencilled set for the start of 2012.
