jane austen + sci-fi: whaddaya think?
There are currently three projects on the way that fuse Pride & Prejudice (one of my most sacred cows) with sci-fi... basically zombies or aliens wreaking havoc on Jane Austen's most beloved cast of characters.
Do me a favor: read one or two (or all) of the following articles, then let me know what you think by answering the poll on the right.

Zombies make everything better! No one bats an eye when a movie's plot is straight Shakespeare. The thought that Mr. Collins might have his entrails ripped out like he deserves makes me very happy.
Elton John should not be allowed to ruin any movies as a producer. He could be in the movie and become a Predator trophy though.

OMG! Can't they find any new storylines? Its not enough that there is one Jane Austen film coming out after another even though the best ones have already been made a long time ago (Im talkin about the BBC P&P and the Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thomson etc) now they wanna include Zombies and set it in space? WHY? Leave the poor girl alone!
Surely Sam Mendes should know better than this!
