Emma Stone played one of the female leads in the notoriously offensive Anti-Zombie film ‘Zombieland’, so she was naturally considered a shoe-in as a candidate to play the lead in ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’, an upcoming film adaptation of the also notorious book.

However, Ms. Stone has apparently declined the role:

Emma Stone passed on the heroine role in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Lionsgate’s adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel that mixes the 1813 Jane Austen classic with a legion of bloodthirsty zombies.

…

In this case, an offer was made but it never got to the negotiation stage, I’m told.

Has Ms. Stone turned over a new and Zombie Friendlier leaf, or was this just about turning down a particular project at a particular time?

Inquiring Zombie Friendly minds want to know.
