Filmen baserad på Seth Grahame-Smiths bok, med blandning av Jane Austen, zombier och ninjor, har nu fått en ny regissör: Mike White. Han är tidigare mest känd(?) för Amazing Race samt för att ha stått för manus till School of Rock och Nacho Libre. Boken är egentligen kul som idé, men med rätt ton kan filmen bli riktigt underhållande.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Mike White: A Winning Combination?
Mike White, the erstwhile “Amazing Race” contestant (and screenwriter of such tenderhearted comedies of the absurd as “School of Rock” and “Nacho Libre”), emerged as the underdog winner of the prized and highly contested job directing the film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. White, who previously directed the little-seen offbeat Molly Shannon comedy, “Year of the Dog,” beat out the likes of Jonathan Demme (”Rachel Getting Married”), Mike Newell (”Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”), and David Slade (”Eclipse”) for the prized gig, enabling him to bring his emotionally-insightful-but-blithely-bizarro sensibility to Seth Grahame-Smith’s gothic remix of Jane Austen’s classic saga of the Bennett sisters’ collective terror of ending up spinsters.
