If Academy Awards were given out for titles alone, the forthcoming Pride and Predator would win next years "Best Picture" Oscar hands down.

How+we+wish+a+Predator+showed+up+in+Pride+and+Prejudice.

The film, announced by Variety today, will begin as a traditional costume drama, only to alarmingly shift in tone when an alien crash lands and begins to kill the stuffy protagonists.If the project wasn't bizarre sounding enough, flamboyant pop icon Elton John will also be on both production duties (through his Rocket Productions) and will be writing the music.First-timer Will Clark will direct, whilst John's partner David Furnish will also produce. He said: "It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect."
