The Killer of the Walking Dead

It looks like Emma Stone is the new Natalie Portman.

Hollywood’s newest, shiniest star is the likeliest choice to replace Portman as the lead in the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) is set to direct. The Oscar winner remains attached to the project as a producer.

Stone would play the single most badass Elizabeth Bennet ever: a zombie killer. Good thing she co-starred in Zombieland a few years ago. She’ll know just what to do.

Up first for the actress, though, are Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Help.

Tinseltown domination is already underway.
