Elton John is set to make a sci-fi horror film in which aliens invade a Jane Austin-style period drama.
The singer will act as executive producer and oversee the music for ‘Pride and Predator’, which is being made by his own Rocket Pictures.
“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,” John’s partner and co-producer David Furnish told Variety magazine. “He stalks and slashes to horrific effect.”
