So just to spice things up, they have decided to throw the Predator into the Pride and Prejudice story. Just imagine it, you are about to fall sleep listening to a monologue from Keira Knighteley then WHAM! the Predator comes out and shuts her up.

If they go ahead with it, i'd love to see it. It would make a welcome change to the boring crap that seems to be spawning from the Jane Austen genre.

I'm not sure if they do mean Predator as in THAT Predator, it could be just the title and they wanted something beginning with P. If they said aliens you'd think of the Giger alien. There's also a story going around of a P&P adaptation with zombies.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of an uzi 9mmm in order to blow away that ugly looking mother fker crawling out of the pond.

I really hope they make this, if only to see the look on SWMBO's face when the predator rips some simpering tart to shredscloud9

Great concept. It could spawn a whole new genre.

Imagine, Shakespeare mixed with pr0n and a well known Abel Ferrara movie...

"Is this a dagger I see before me?"
"No, it's a fecking chainsaw."

A bit off topic but anyone heard of or seen Outlander? Instead of aliens vs Georgian English, its alien monster vs Vikings.
