Natalie Portman to produce and star in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies movie
posted December 11th, 2009 by brett
It’s official! Variety broke the story this morning that Natalie Portman will star as Elizabeth Bennet in the movie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. No official release date has been announced. We are stoked to have her on-board and feel she’s the perfect choice to play our zombie-slaying, regency-era heroine.
The role of Elizabeth Bennet has been cast. But, who should play Mr. Darcy and the other characters? Submit your thoughts for a chance to win a copy of the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Deluxe Heirloom Edition.

The Bennent's
Bill Nighy would be an EPIC Mr. Bennet.
Mr. Darcy
Well... I'm going to have to go with James McAvoy on this one. Just because he's quite the sexy beast.
For everyone else, I'm not so sure.
??
David Tennant and Catherine Tate?? Yea, that would be ok if this were a Doctor Who special or, worse yet, movie. Despite how I do love them both, I'm not sure about the whol Mr and Mrs Bennett thing.
the cast
the ultimate cast...
Mr. Darcy - Dylan Moran he can do the arrogant awkward thing beautifully
Bingley - Simon Pegg bumbles and has excellent onscreen chemistry with Moran
Wickham - Dan Clark he's in a show call How Not to Live your Life.. brilliant he's a good fit.
Mr & Mrs. Bennet- Catherine Tate and David Tennant, slap some gray draw in a few wrinkles perfect. These two have excellent onscreen chemistry.
The perfect cast
Mr. Bennet: David Bowie
Mr. Darcy: Eric Bana
Mr. Bingley: Simon Pegg
Mrs. Bennet: Meryl Streep
christian bale
christian bale blatantly!!
hes tall, dark and handsome.
he has that air of propriety
and can be distant and nobbish :P
please choose him!!
The next Darcy
I vote for Justin Timberlake. I was not a fan until I saw him in various sketches on SNL. I think he would bring the proper serious quirkiness that the role requires. Can't WAIT to see this movie.
Elvis!!
Elvis would be the best Mr Darcy ever - those hips would make for the best sword fights! Plus he is tall, dark, regal, has plenty of films under his belt, and he might even throw in a musical number for the fun of it.
Only problem is that given his current state I guess Elvis would be better cast as a Zombie-Darcy :-(
