Emma Stone passed on the heroine role in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Lionsgate’s adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel that mixes the 1813 Jane Austen classic with a legion of bloodthirsty zombies. While talent gets offered and passes on movies every day, Internet reports now trumpet offers, even if the journalists have no idea whether the actor is at all interested in doing the movie. In this case, an offer was made but it never got to the negotiation stage, I’m told.


This just in: John Travolta will NOT be doing “The Office”. You heard it here first!
The internet has become the digital “news” equivalent of The National Enquirer. It’s 95% PR plants and spin, desperate actors (and so-called “celebrities”) getting their name(s) and “stolen” sex videos out there, and political ideologists making shit up to support their freaky beliefs (or just profiting from those stupid/frightened enough to believe them).
The rhetorical question: when will people learn? Rhetorical answer: (since people still buy The National Enquirer) never.
She was all wrong. Glad she didn’t accept. Now, how do we get the producers to look at Natalie Dormer??
oh no! i thought this would be perfect casting! Stone would have been so good in this role. I can’t think of who else would do it now. i wonder why she passed??
DEFINITELY seconding Natalie Dormer. She’s so fantastic, and SO underrated. A perfect Liz Bennett. Rachel McAdams or even Gemma Arterton would be great too.
Jane Austen and ZOMBIES?
GTF outta here…
Maybe she realized the whole idea of mixing classic literature with horror sterotypes was the most stupid thing she heard of. I sure do.
Emily Blunt
It’s just as well. I can’t see her do a convincing British accent and I think this kind of movie (the Jane Austen kind, not the zombie kind) would not be right for anyway.
My pick for this role is Abbie Cornish, so so talented and she can kick serious butt!
The only zombie film that Emma Stone should do next is Zombieland 2. I want more zombie survival rules!
Emma Stone will you marry me?
Oh thank god! When I just heard that she’s in talks to star i was like nooooo. I hope Anne Hathaway takes on the role.
Love Benedict Cumberbatch to play Darcy in this. As Lainey’s site said he’d be perfect
The thought of Anne Hathaway doing a British accent is horrifying. Please let it be a British actress.
