If you're a fan of sweeping 19th century British tales of lost innocence and moral influences and zombies, God has answered your prayers.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the wildly popular adaptation of Jane Austen's famous novel infused with kick-ass zombie action by writer Seth Grahame-Smith, is being made into a six-part TV mini-series. Groovy! Is there any chance they could convince Keira Knightley to don the frock one more time and pick up a kitana for some serious Elizabethan ass kicking?
The series hasn't scored a network or even a start date since the production has barely made its way out of its egg shell, but the project seems promising so far. Deadline Productions is at the ship's helm who produced a very quirky looking science-fiction cop series called Phoo Action for the BBC. Make sure you wait at least one hour after taking your ecstasy before viewing the trailer.

Now that the Qe crew is offically back from post-turkey comas we can report on an interesting scoop that appeared amid the glut of unread emails this morning.
It would see that Deadline Productions is adapting Seth Grahame-Smith's trend-setting mash-up novel, "Pride Prejudice and Zombies," into a six-part television event. The news appeared in a tweet from the book's official page, PridePrejudiceZombie.
Not to be confused with Deadline Productions out of Houston, Texas, this Deadline production is run by the same guys who brought Scottish BBC the zaney scifi cop drama, Phoo Action in 2008.
Personally I haven't read Smith's novel yet because, well, I just plain haven't the time, but it's on the pile and I'm sure I'll get to it before the series airs. Has anyone out there actually read it? If so, do you think the world is ready the see the beloved Bennet family beseiged by hoards of the Undead.

Jamie Winstone, daughter of Ray and victim of at least one Donkey Punch, has been announced as the star of Elfie Hopkins and the Gammons. Winstone will be playing Elfie, a name which makes great sense with her face, build and preferred do, but at 24 she's cheating on the character description of 'teenage misfit' just a little. If it's good enough for Alison Lohmann... and 95% of the extras at Sunnydale High... Screen International quote co-writer and director Ryan Andrews, who claims the film will contain "quirky horror and an eclectic mix of comic book characters, British pop culture and fantasy setting in an unusual and twisted world". Doesn't soon too unlike another Winstone project, 2008's Phoo Action, a TV adaptation of Jamie Hewlett's Get the Freebies comic strip. Unfortunately, that one didn't quite come off. After the break, an early teaser for Elfie Hopkins. Obviously, this trailer isn't in...
