"Natalie Portman will not rest until she has made an edgy version of every classic story you grew up reading! Riding high off her Black Swan buzz, Portman is reportedly eyeing the Jean-Pierre Jeunet film Brothers Grimm: Snow White, and that's in addition to David O. Russell's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which she'll produce and star in. Meanwhile, the Playlist claims that another revamped classic has fallen apart: the Emile Hirsch–starring Hamlet, which was supposed to be directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Instead, Hardwicke will continue work on the Amanda Seyfried–toplined The Girl With the Red Riding Hood, proving that edgy fairy tales are in, while edgy Shakespeare, not so much. [Pajiba, Playlist]
Edgy Shakespeare is in! Look at Taymor's Tempest. Whatever--moral of the story: Natalie Portman will grace us with edgy versions of everything. I, for one, don't relish this Pride and Prejudice and Zombies nonsense. I don't like the whole weird Austen turn that's happening. Makes me long for Clueless, the best Emma going.
