Thanks to Aaron for the pointer to this article about the upcoming "Pride and Predator", a filmed adaptation of Austen with an alien invasion in the middle. Coming so soon on the heels of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I believe we officially have a genre now.

If I am correctly interpreting the trend, the next version will feature Freddy Kruger, or possibly Pinhead...

And there's also Esther Friesner's 1991 short story, "Pride and Prescience," which I believe was the result of a challenge to write a Cthulhu mythos space-monster story in the style of Jane Austen.
