Here's an interesting quote from Variety.com for ya,'Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.' and this is no joke my frinds. Nope, not this early on the Tuesday after a holiday. It would seem that Will Clark is set to direct a film entitled, Pride and Predator, described as a film 'which veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.' An obvioulsy overpaid Exec Producer chimes in "It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect,"  If anyone understands anything about this, please post a comment below and let us know what the hell is going on. It's not April 1st, is it? If this isn't enough, Rocket Pictures is also currently in production on a film with Disney entitled Gnomeo and Juliet - the end is officially here!
