Screen Gems has released a highly charged sneak peek at their upcoming, highly anticipated, flick Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This over-a-minute teaser truly gives the viewer the feel of the Seth Grahame-Greene book come to life on the silver screen. It is filled with butt-kicking action, loads of period piece costumes and customs and of course… killer zombies!
Lily James stars as the iconic Jane Austen character Elizabeth Bennet, while Sam Riley basks in the glory of being Mr. Darcy. The latter is a zombie killer of the highest order and the former is part of a sisterhood of Bennets, who have all been raised by their father to be just as fierce as any man in the destruction of the undead.
We can’t say too much about the film after witnessing it — until an embargo lifts — but let’s just say this: Prepare for a fantastical good time that pays serious homage to the Austen classic, while simultaneously ticking all the boxes of the zombie genre that make us love those brain eaters so much.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies also stars Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth, Charles Dance, Lena Headey and Matt Smith.
Prepare for battle on February 5.
