PRIDE PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES (Director Quits))

• PRIDE, PREJUDICE ANDZOMBIES BUT NO DIRECTOR

It's been a troublesome road so far for Lionsgate's Prideand Prejudice and Zombies. Deadline reports that director Craig Gillespie hasleft the project, making him the third attached helmer to do so.

Based on Seth Grahame-Smith's re-interpretation of JaneAusten's "Pride & Prejudice," the story features the literaryheroine Elizabeth Bennet going up against hordes of ravenous zombies.

Originally, David O. Russell was to direct the project, buthe exited late last year. He was replaced last November with Mike White, wholeft in turn in January. Gillespie came aboard the film in April and, thoughrumors hit of his departure hit in August, they were denied by studio reps.

There is been a number of leading ladies that have been intalks but has ultimately decided not to sign on, such as Rooney Mara, EmmaStone, Blake Lively & Natalie Portman (However she is still producing thefilm). This just makes us wonder is Mash-up of Romance and Zombies, really asgood as we think it is, or is the story really rubbish?? You decide…
