Austen meets Arnold

Imagine this: It's 18th Century England and some gent, let's call him Charles Bingley for the time being, rents this manor called, say, Netherfield Park. In a nearby village -- let's call it Longbourn -- a family that includes five unmarried daughters gets all excited at the possiblities associated with this new arrival and arrange for a lavish ball to take place that Mr. Bingley and other well-mannered unmarried men of means can attend and meet the daughters.

Then, right in the middle of the ball, a space alien invades the premises and begins killing all those attending the ball.

I have no idea whether that's how the movie "Pride and Predator" will unfold, but it apparently is going to go something along those lines, which could be a hoot. You can read more about it here.
