Jane Austen Heroines To Meet Bloodthirsty Extraterrestrials In PRIDE AND PREDATOR!!

I am – Hercules!!



Elton John’s Rocket Pictures is mounting “Pride and Predator,” about 18th century English people who find their flirtations and courtships interrupted by an invasion of monsters from outer space.

The project is co-written and directed by Will Clark, who directed a short I knew nothing of titled “The Amazing Trousers”:


I can't say I find the "Trousers" trailer Grindhouse-worthy, but I confess I find the "Pride and Predator" concept inspired.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
