Pride and Prejudice and Zombies resurrected... sort of

Panorama Media acquired the book adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies not too long ago and some changes for the seemingly doomed project have been made. First of all, the movie will now be called Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies. They dropped the first "and" to make it easier to say, I guess.
Also announced is that Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror) is apparently in talks to play Elizabeth Bennet and Burr Steers (Charlie St. Cloud) is attached to direct.

Collins comes after a long list of female leads who have either been attached and later dropped or passed on the project entirely. That list includes Natalie Portman (she is still producing) , Blake Lively, Emma Stone, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, and Mia Wasikowska.
