Films based upon Jane Austen's books are known for being period dramas about romance and family politics set in Victorian era England. What they are not . . . . . ever . . . . . are settings where aliens show up and start killing people. But all of that is going to change soon, as some truly crazed filmmakers have decided to take it upon themselves to blend the two vastly different genres of Jane Austen novels and sci-fi films to create one truly messed up movie called Pride and Predator.
Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.
Will Clark is set to direct "Pride and Predator," which veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.
Shooting will begin in London later this year. John exec produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.
Wow. This is what happens people when we let Elton John make movies. I'm really not sure how to feel about this news. This could either be one of the raddest movies that will ever be made, or it could be the worst low budget piece of crap film to come out in years. Personally, I'm hoping for the former there but I will hold on passing judgement on the film until I have seen it myself.
