No Corsets, No Hat Pins and No Crying — Jane Austen’s Fight Club

Jane Austen's Fight Club

There is a not-so recent trend that has been sweeping the literary world; people are re-writing historical fiction like Pride and Prejudice and infusing it with dark humor which has been a huge hit. Books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters have done extremely well for themselves and to add to the hilarity, a new faux movie trailer has recently gone viral, appearing pretty much everywhere from Mashable to Jezebel to PopScreen.

Jane Austen’s Fight Club is a hilarious and extremely awesome idea and I do really wish that someone would pick this up and make it into a full-length movie. I’d definitely go see it. Would you?
