The world of Jane Austen is associated with fussy manners and crises of morality and emotion, but in the hands of writer Seth Grahame-Smith, it’s the perfect setting for the undead. His wild reimagining "Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" is finally hitting the big screen after years in development, and some bloody new images have arrived.
“Rather than knitting and crocheting, they’re polishing muskets,” lead Lily James, who plays Elizabeth Bennett, tells EW about the girls and the movie. And her character is “the most badass zombie slayer there is.”
However, the most interesting thing about the film might be the approach, which director Burr Steers ("Igby Goes Down") is promising won’t be arch. “The idea was that it was ‘Pride and Prejudice’ set in this alternate world and then for everyone to play it straight. The movie’s big wink is that there is no big wink,” he explains.
"Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" opens on February 5, 2016.
