BREAKING: Blake Lively Offered PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES

Emma Stone told them no. Natalie Portman told them no, despite already being a producer. Mia Wasikowska and Scarlett Johansoon have both been mentioned for the part, but neither of them are doing it either. Will Blake Lively join the long list of negative responses or will she star as Elizabeth Bennet in the coming film version of Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride And Prejudice And Zombies?

Sources are telling ScreenAnarchy that director Craig Gillespie has met with the Gossip Girl star and she has been offered the lead role in the film. Nobody seems to have a read yet if she will accept but if she does it will represent a significant change of pace for Lively while finally giving the film the marketable lead it has been struggling to find since day one.
