How Far Is Too Far?

I don't mind it when old stories are reimagined or updated. Films like Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet show that the best tales are timeless. But in the following case...well, why don't you take a look for yourself.

Containing only 20% new material, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (set to be released in April) takes the classic Jane Austen novel and adds a little twist. According to the books plot synopsis, heroine Elizabeth Bennett and her four sisters becoming zombie slayers and are taught how to fight like Japanese ninjas by Mr Darcy. I personally think this is a great addition to the original text...I love that book, but one of my main problem with it is that there simply aren't enough zombies. Hopefully, this updated version will rectify this.

Apparently, several studios are already engaged in a bidding war for the books film rights.
