Lionsgate has signed Mike White to direct Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel of the same name.
As its title implies, the project mixes Jane Austen’s 1813 classic “Pride and Prejudice” with Zombies set in an alternate version of 19th-century England. Austen was actually credited as a co-author when the Grahame-Smith novel was published in April 2009.
David O. Russell was originally attached to direct, but pulled out earlier this month.
