Pride and Predator

[AmandaGal]

Hollywood has truly run out of ideas:
"Pride and Predator to give Jane Austen an extreme makeover.  The new film from Elton John's Rocket Pictures will have the seven-foot extraterrestrial give the characters from Pride and Prejudice something more immediate to worry about than making advantageous marriages."

I like this idea.  I like it a lot.

In a bit of Dante's Peak/Volcano or Deep Impact/Armageddon timing, there's also this:

Huh, I thought the two were actually connected. That's a hell of a coincidence.

Well, whatever. I'm still buying that book and seeing that movie, since those are ideas I can definitely get behind.

This is the best movie news EVER!

I do think the title of the movie is a tad more elegant though.

I am ready to add this to my netflix queue.

Early April Fool's Day?

Early April Fool's Day?

Either that or Direct-to-DVD-ville. There's no way they'd try to open that in theaters. Not a wide release, anyway.

It would sadden me to no end if the Predator franchise became so stale that it was relegated to direct-to-DVD status.  Unfortunately, it's probably closer than I'd like to think.

I heard that Fox was considering a solo reboot of the franchise, and that excited me.  But this Jane Austin crap would be a step in the opposite direction.

I still don't actually believe this movie would ever see the light of day anyways, so I'm not too worried.

Well, it sounds like a UK-production, and we've got a film coming out soon titled Lesbian Vampire Killers.  So who knows what we'll make next?

[Tripe]

They kill lesbian vampires or they're lesbians who kill vampires?

[mrbasehart]

They kill lesbian vampires.  It's by the guys behind Gavin & Stacey, if that means anything to you.

[Axnollouse]

They kill lesbian vampires or they're lesbians who kill vampires?

That sounds close to Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Doesn't ring a bell, link?
