Seth Grahame-Smith

Is Beetlejuice joining the annoying ranks of such film projects as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Ghostbusters 3? It's sure starting to feel that way. At least today we get to hear from the director himself.

Thus far just about everything has gone wrong concerning the big screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's like the revolving door of productions. Names get attached. Names leave. Directors jump ship. Actors refuse offers. It's a perfect storm. Writer Marti Noxon recently issued her thoughts on this ever so troubled production.

It's been an interesting year for Craig Gillespie. After helming DreamWorks' Fright Night remake, he was next poised to direct the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and brought in acclaimed writer Marti Noxon (with whom he worked on Fright Night) to complete the script. Then in October it was announced he was exiting the project, leaving it up in the air.

Can we just take this project down with a well placed head shot already? Please? Maybe some things are just not meant to be. The most ill-fated attempt of an adaptation of the year has just suffered yet another blow.

Right behind Ghostbusters III in terms of sequels that need to be put out to pasture and shot is Beetlejuice II. A movie even Tim Burton has no interest in making ... and have you looked at his output over the last ten years? But that's not stopping KatzSmith Productions partners David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith from desperately trying to get another one off the ground.

Another book to film adaptation is on its way, and finally it's one that appears to be geared toward adults rather than the ubiquitous tweener crowd. Read on for the details of KatzSmith Productions' acquisition of Doug Dorst's Alive in Necropolis, set in the "cemetery city" of Colma, California.

And the casting woes continue for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's as if telling the powers that be "NO" is en vogue around Hollywood. Here's some advice: If you guys really wanna make this movie, instead of wasting more time being snubbed by all these big-name celebs, find an unknown and make her a star.

Taking the most tumultuous road possible to the big screen is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Just about every conceivable thing short of Bill Murray refusing to read the script has happened (not that he was ever attached to this; we just couldn't resist taking a jab), but finally an offer is out to someone to assume the lead role of "Elizabeth Bennet".

Everyone's favorite "Ghost with the Most" is officially on its way back. After years of promising, endless chatter, and lots of hoping, there's finally some solid news to report on about the long proposed sequel to Beetlejuice!

When last we reported on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Zombieland's Emma Stone had been offered the lead role in the film, but apparently things didn't work out as planned because now she's out of the running and the production start date has been moved to early 2012.

It's been a long road for Lionsgate's big screen adaptation of the popular Seth Grahame-Smith mash-up novel, Pride, Prejudice & Zombies. Chris Eggertsen caught up with director Craig Gillespie during Comic-Con for a quick update.

One little lady with a penchant for killing the undead in very imaginative ways may be at it again in Lionsgate's big screen adaptation of the popular Seth Grahame-Smith mash-up novel! Read on for details.

A funny thing happened in 2009. People were talking about zombies, and not just us - but people who NEVER talk about zombies. Because 2009 was the year Jane Austen's classic work Pride and Prejudice was infested with the undead.

It looks like director Craig Gillespie found his muse while working on Fright Night as he's bringing the writer of that film's script, Marti Noxon, along with him as he moves to his next project, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Well that didn't take long. Just a day after officially coming on to direct the big screen adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Craig Gillespie is ready to talk about the flick and what we can expect from it. Entertainment Weekly caught up with Gillespie, who had the following to offer fans ...
