Women we would rather see in Pride And Prejudice and Zombies

Natalie Portman is set to star in the film adaptation of a zombie-filled adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I speak, of course, of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. According to Variety:
Given Natalie Portman's elegant demeanor, a turn in a period Jane Austen adaptation was inevitable. Portman will star in and produce "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," a film that is based on the bestselling book written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Austen. Lionsgate will finance and distribute. Quirk Books published the tome.I would be more inclined to describe Portman's demeanor as "rape apologist," but fine, I guess I'll take "elegant." (Remember kids, meat is rape!) Anyway, I was more than disappointed with Portman's lame-ass period attempt in The Other Boleyn Girl, and can think of some women I would way rather see slay zombies in empire-waisted gowns:
Though Austen's name is on the book, Grahame-Smith took the liberty of adding bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies to the mix.
- Courtney Love - not only would I love to see someone try to get her to wear a floor-length gown for more than a few seconds, but she would potentially out-crazy the flesh-eating zombies.
- Kate Gosselin - with eight kids surrounding her, she can basically use them as eight kicking, screaming shields.
- Lady Gaga - her ridiculously awesome fashion sense makes her a shoo-in for this role. If Jane Austen and zombies can go together, surely they need someone who makes turning her hair into a giant bow look effortless.
- LiLo - She's already pretty good with knives.

Lame. How long did you spend on writing this post? Don't just reach for the first celebs that spring to your mind. Think about the topic at hand. Who would really be good in a zombie movie?
Helena Bonham Carter.

Posted 12/11/2009 at 02:10:39 PMCarter would be cool, but it'd be even cooler to see ANYONE ELSE get a dark, cultish role.
Charlize Theron could do it, I think.
Just so long as it's not Megan Fox, I'm probably OK with it.
Posted 12/11/2009 at 04:00:41 PMCan we get the Nadalie Portman of Garden State and Closer back?
