Downward Spiral

Please, movie gods, tell me this is a joke:

Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.

Will Clark is set to direct "Pride and Predator," 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.

Shooting will begin in London later this year. John exec produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.

Not be all clutch-the-pearls about this, but SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, TORTURE A DIFFERENT AUTHOR.

I NOMINATE A BRONTE.
