What Is Goin' On With Pride And Prejudice And Zombies?

Athough everything seemed like things were  on the right track a week or so ago “Pride And Prejudice And Zombies " has lost director  Craig Gillespie....according to Twitchfilm, once again leaving the project in limbo. 

Or is it? The studio says Gillespie is still on bourd...

If Twitch is right Gillespie follows David O. Russell and Mike White who were previously attached and soon left the pic.

The film's story is taken from Seth Grahame-Smith's book using Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice and puts bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies into the action. The tome now tells the timeless story of a woman's quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers.

At the same time the search for a female lead continues as well: Natalie Portman was to play the role as well as produce the film but left last year. Then Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson Mia Wasikowska Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Rooney Mara, and Olivia Wilde were all being considered for the role at one point. The inabilty to lock down a leading lady seemingly led to the most recent upheaval

Dominic Cooper is still attached to play Mr. Darcy despite Gillespie's semming exit.

Russell, Gillespie Grahame-Smith and Marti Noxon have drafted the script no word as to how much of that will remain should a new director come onboard.

Annette Savitch Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick Ted Hamm and Portman would still produce...
