Lionsgate has released an action-packed new trailer and poster for their upcoming movie PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, which you can watch above.
A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in Jane Austen’s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr. Darcy (Sam Reilly) is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield.
It certainly seems as though this is a very different take on PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and in some parts of the trailer, you would be forgiven for thinking you are watching scenes from the fantastic TV series THE WALKING DEAD with all of the flesh-eating zombies on the prowl!
Written and directed by Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down), PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is based on the book by Seth Grahame-Smith and stars Lily James (Cinderella), Sam Riley (Control), Jack Huston (American Hustle), Bella Heathcote (Dark Shadows), Douglas Booth (Jupiter Ascending), Matt Smith (“Doctor Who”), Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”) and Lena Headey (300).
