Austen is listed as the co-author of the book along with Grahame-Smith.
Natalie Portman is producing through her handsomecharlie films with Annette Savitch, along with Darko Entertainment's Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm.
Gillespie directed "Lars and the Real Girl" and the upcoming "Fright Night" remake.
