We all know the story of Pride and Prejudice, but Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will show off the Bennet sisters as we have never seen them before.
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is finally coming to the big screen in the new year and I cannot wait to see Seth Grahame-Smith novel, which is based on the book by Jane Austen, given the big screen treatment for the first time.
The movie will see Burr Steers in the director's chair while Lily James is set to take on the central role of Elizabeth Bennet - this promises to be another film that will send her star rocketing even further.
In the UK trailer for the film, James explains that the ladies of 19th century England are facing a new challenge and have acquired a new set of skills in order to survive - check it out:
An all-star cast has been assembled for Pride And Prejudice And Zombies as Lily James is joined by Lena Headey, Matt Smith, Douglas Booth, Jack Huston, Charles Dance, Sam Riley, Suki Waterhouse, Bella Heathcote, Emma Greenwell, and Sally Phillips.
Burr Steers has brought us movies such as Igby Goes Down and 17 Again during his career and this will be his first feature since The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud back in 2010.
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is a fresh twist on Jane Austen's widely celebrated novel. A mysterious plague has fallen upon 19th century England, the land is overrun with the undead and feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry.
Casting aside personal and social prejudices, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must unite on the blood-soaked battlefield to rid the country of the zombie menace and discover their true love for one another.
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies will be released by Lionsgate UK in cinemas across the UK & Ireland on Friday 12th February 2016.
