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.
