Pride and Prejudice and Zombies finally gets its director

I know, I know. We’ve heard this before: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has a director (here, here, here, here, and here). But this time it’s for real, according to Lionsgate Films. Here’s their press release and who’s directing:

“We are so excited to have Craig Gillespie on board this film. His sensibility spans from genre bending horror to elegant character driven comedy, which is perfect for this movie. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is precisely the kind of movie I came to Lionsgate to make: sophisticated yet youthful and edgy. Our movie will be all of those things – with zombies- and it will benefit enormously from Craig’s unique perspective.” says Alli Shearmur, Lionsgate President of Motion Picture Production.

This Craig Gillespie they’ve mentioned has a remake coming out in August called Fright Night 3D. Do you think he has what it takes to adapt Seth Grahame-Smith’s Jane Austen zombie yarn?

I love film. That is all.
