File this under TV movies that will be better than the actual book: Pride and Prejudice And Zombies is being made into a miniseries.

The book's Twitter stream announced that they would be adapting Seth Grahame-Smith's novel for a miniseries.


If you've read the book you know that it is literally Pride And Prejudice, almost word for word, with zombies and ninjas shoved in between.

Which really sounds perfect for a miniseries or a Syfy original movie. Either way, it's bound to be fun — or at least, better than the book.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies mini-series just a rumor
Posted Dec 3rd 2009

Apparently the news of a zombie invasion on your TV screen was just a work of fiction.

Earlier, we reported on the production of a six-part mini-series based on the hilarious (I've just started reading it, Jane Austen was never this funny) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies book by Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith by a British production company.

Today the co-author of the book, who has a second mashup title in the works based on the life of Abraham Lincoln as a hard-edged vampire hunter, denied the news.

And if you have to ask which author, please have your head examined by something other than a can opener and a very good friend.



The "living" author wrote on his Twitter page, "there's NO TRUTH to those PPZ 'miniseries' rumors" and noted on his Facebook page that efforts are being made to produce the series as a theatrical film.

Sigh, I guess the only time we'll get to see anything zombie-related on our TVs is footage of the inevitable religious apocalypse.
