    David O. Russell-Scripted 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies' Nears Production

    By Angie Han October 4th, 2011

    Blake Lively has just joined the A-list ranks of Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, and Natalie Portman as the latest actress to turn down the opportunity to star in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Craig Gillespie's beleaguered adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's Jane Austen spoof.

  • Has Craig Gillespie Left 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies'? [Nope! Updated]

    By Russ Fischer August 30th, 2011

    Update: To eliminate any possibility of confusion, be aware this reported director change has been thoroughly denied by Lionsgate. Craig Gillespie, the studio says, remains very much a part of P&P&Z. Original article follows for posterity. (via STYD and contact from Lionsgate reps.) Oh, no, not this again. Lionsgate has had a terrifically difficult time…

  • Craig Gillespie Is The New Director For 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies'

    By Germain Lussier April 18th, 2011

    When a film needs to blend period costume drama, romance, zombie horror and humor, a director who can delicately balance those tones is crucial. That must be why Lionsgate was so ultra careful when selecting someone to adapt Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which takes the classic Jane Austen tale and infuses…

  • Directors: Craig Gillespie Likely For 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies;' Wayne Kramer Leaves Stallone Film 'Headshots;' Meg Ryan Makes Directorial Debut

    By Russ Fischer April 6th, 2011

    Somehow, 2010-2011 is going to go down as a time period when finding a director for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies turned into a massive undertaking. David O. Russell was going to make the film, but he walked. Many others were considered, then Mike White was hired, then he left, too. Craig Gillespie (Lars and…
