Natalie Portman is getting back in a corset, only to be chased by brain-hungry zombies. According to Variety, the actress will star in and produce the film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

The film is based on a book by Seth Grahame-Smith, that see's Jane Austin's signature Elizabeth Bennet, trained in martial arts having spent some time in the Far East.
 

I haven't read the book, but it sounds like a bit of a larf. No word on a director yet, but I'm assuming that if Portman has stumped up the clams for the rights, she's very serious about making it. The actress will next be seen in Your Highness, opposite Danny McBride and James Franco.
