Emma Stone's Undead Cred

Emma Stone has battled zombies once before and could do so again--having been offered the lead role in Pride And Prejudice And Zombies says THR

Natalie Portman was to play the role as well as produce the film but left last year--The film also had director issues

The 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.

If she takes on the pic Stone will play feisty Elizabeth Bennet, who is distracted from her quest to eradicate the zombie menace by the arrival of the arrogant Mr. Darcy.

Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Mia Wasikowska were all being considered for the role at one point.

Annette Savitch Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm will produce with Portman

Grahame-Smith adapted his own material with the help of Marti Noxon from which director Craig Gillespie.will call action

Stone was great in Zombieland  and would do well here--Big fan....She does feisty like no other
