Take a deep breath, zombie fanboys; it's apparently going to happen. Natalie Portman will fight zombies -- though probably not in a Padmé Amidala midriff-baring white jumpsuit. She's set to star in (and produce, alongside The Box's Richard Kelly, amongst others) the upcoming adaptation of the trendsetting "mashup" novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a spin on the Jane Austen classic that places the story in an alternate reality in which zombies (and apparently a ninja or two) roam the countryside. Portman will play the main protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet. No word on a release date, but since the actress is currently filming the thriller Black Swan and then seems to be committed to the superhero flick Thor, I wouldn't expect PaPaZ until 2011.

Why on earth do you reference seizures and epilepsy in the title of this article? Are you trying to be cute by making fun of people who suffer from seizures? This is so Not funny.
Annika – Rest assured, I wasn’t making fun of anybody. Except you. I’m surprised you didn’t catch that.
