‘Pride And Prejudice And Zombies’ May Have Director

Having not read what I was supposed to in high school, I missed out on some of the classics, which I also didn't catch when they were turned into movies. However, this one kinda caught my eye. According to Deadline.com,

Craig Gillespie will soon be set as director of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, Lionsgate's adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel that enhanced the Jane Austen classic with a smattering of flesh-eating walking corpses. Now, Gillespie has been a frontrunner on the Lionsgate project since Mike White dropped out. But several other candidates were considered, including  the author and his partner, David Katzenberg.

I hope this movie actually gets put into production, and maybe they'll do more spinoffs of classics and horror, like 'The Old Man and The Sea' meets 'Jaws'. Here's to hoping...
