Check out the poster for an Asian movie with a lot of Western actors in the cast: THE WARRIOR'S WAY with Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush and Danny Huston and Korean actor Dong-gun Jang in the lead role.
If you like Ernest Hemingway, you probably shouldn't miss the adaptation of his posthumously published novel THE GARDEN OF EDEN coming out this December. The story follows a successful American writer (Jack Huston) and his wife (Mena Suvari) on an extended European honeymoon as she becomes restless in the relationship and draws an Italian girl (Caterina Murino) into their lives. According to "Movieweb" the cast of this Jazz Age, erotically-charged romance also includes Richard E. Grant and Matthew Modine.
P&P and Zombies? Seriously, are we running out of movie ideas? Well, it should be a fun movie to see.

oh, Clarissa, I guess we should be thankful it's not vampires instead of zombies :)
ReplyDeletethere have been so many p&p variations. now zombies? i don't know... could be good...
ReplyDeletethat The Warrior's Way poster is gorgeous!
and i've never heard of that hemingway book...
Now that's a very interesting poster for Warrior's Way. The flying hitmans in the background especially are the attention-grabbing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this P&P zombie flick will ever get made. I heard about it when Natalie Portman was attached, then there's rumor swirling recently that Scar Jo is playing miss Bennett. Well I'd rather have Hathaway in the role personally. I like Jane Austen's work and this one obviously has a crazy twisted concept that got me curious. Not sure the author would be happy with this adaptation though :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could do a quick search on this, but wasn't "Pride and Prejudic and Zombies" written by the same bloke who wrote "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?"
ReplyDeleteIf so, I believe that taking history and classic works and re-imagining them with supernatural elements is kind of his thing.
DEZMOND - Hi. I still haven't read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I really want to though. It's high on my list. =D Wow. The Warrior's Way sounds like a great movie and the poster - Yowza!!! Can you tell me one thing though? Does it end happily? I need a happy ending. That may be sad, but it's true. ;D
ReplyDeleteI have the PPZ book, but haven't read it yet. I'd watch!
ReplyDeleteP & P and Zombies should be fun. I read the book last year after first reading the original Jane Austen version, which I'm glad I did. The zombie version was silly fun, but I really dug the original and my wife and I proceeded to watch every film version we could get our hands on.

Tossing It Out
@Vics
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about that book, either, it was published after Hemingway's death
@Jaccsy
it's true :) I've noticed the background and his costume first as well :)
@Flixy
yes, they've been talking about this for quite some time now. And yes, I'm quite sure Jane wouldn't be thrilled by the whole thing :))) She would probably faint like one of her female characters :)
@JM
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, but you have a post on ABRAHAM somewhere bellow in one of the older posts
@Shells
I've no idea,Shells,we should ask Jaccsy above, he's an expert on Asian movies :)
@Kristin
well, whatcha waiting - the zombie invasion? :))
@Arlee
oh, that's nice, now you and the wife will have one more version to watch, although a bit crazier one :)
wow. P&P&Z. I guess that makes sense. It did start the whole classics v. monsters craze. Garden of Eden, ay... hmm. ;p
ReplyDeleteyep, Leigh, as if we didn't have enough craze with all the vampires, now the zombies strike too :)
ReplyDeleteThe Warrior's Way looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love zombies....
ReplyDeleteBUT I must admit that I suspect they're about to jump the shark. This new film could be the tipping point.
oh, yes, and vampires are also close to their tipping point. Hopefully :)
ReplyDeleteI tried to read the P&P&Z novel but I just couldn't get into it. Warrior's Way looks great though
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice and Zombies eh, I don't know what to make of this development. And I wonder what that Warrior's Way will be like. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that they give the main role for P&P&Z to Natalie Portman, but then again I'm biased :P
ReplyDeleteWarrior's way looks kinda fun, but the eastern meets western thing has been done so I'm not sure what to make of it. Likely a DVD movie rather than a cinema one for me.
@Lynda
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling it would be the same case with me
@Bryan
it is quite a puzzling project :)
@Jamie
eh, if Hollywood would ask you, Portman would star in pretty much all the movies :)
Thanks a lot for sharing the information of multiple movies in a single link. I really liked your blog very much.
