Wuthering Heights but with ZOMBIES!!!

So Ann and I were discussing the new book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies yesterday. This led us to an ever so brief discussion of the possibilites of updating classics with zombies. I think Great Expectations would be much improved with the addition of brain hungry zombies. I'd like to see Gwynnie and Ethan Hawke make that movie! An even better Dickens choice would have to be A Tale of Two Cities of Zombies. Oooh! Henry James novels are just SCREAMING for zombies: The Portrait of a Zombie! Even better is The Wings of the Dove. Milly is already stricken with a disease, so instead of dying permanently she becomes a zombie and goes after Kate and Densher. If the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies doesn't write The Wings of the Zombie Dove then I will!

I would feel so satisfied if I could watch Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow being eaten by zombies on screen. That would rule.

I know, right? I bet that would out sell Titanic. Especially now that both of them are so stinkin' self-righteous.

So they go through the movie all whiney and annoying and it turns out that DeNiro's a zombie and he gets Ethan who then gets Gwynnie. Ethan'd still make tons of money as an artist because what self-respecting NYC hipster wouldn't want zombie art on their wall?

Did you see that Wings of the Dove that came out a few years ago with Helena Bonham-Carter? She already looked like a zombie. She's very ahead of her time.
