Will Zombie Be Lively?

Gossip Girl beauty Blake Lively is the latest in a long line of ladies reportedly to be offered the lead role in the film adaptation of  “Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" according to Twitchfilm


And yes Craig Gillespie is still due to direct the project,

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.

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.

Dominic Cooper is still attached to play Mr. Darcy.

David O. Russell and Mike White were previously attached to helm but soon left the pic; Russell, Gillespie Grahame-Smith and Marti Noxon have all drafted the script

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