For those of you who are fans of the mega hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, you get to watch your favorite piece of fiction translated into a low budget television series whereby everything you liked about the book will be distilled into a passing comment by a side character who was never in the book in the first place. I kid, of course. But not by much.

Actually, I’m a big fan a well funded television treatments. It’s the best way to present books because the format gives filmmakers the time to explore the work. For example, you simply cannot catch the spirit of War and Peace in a two hour movie, but the BBC nailed it in their twenty part television adaption (which featured a very young Anthony Hopkins at the start of his rather successful career).

Just a small point. The series actually hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the posting of the image along with a mention of it in a Twitter feed by the author sounds like it is well in the works. More to come as I have it.
