In a world where the undead are waiting around every corner to tear you limb from limb, naturally you have worries more pressing than trying to penetrate the brooding aloofness of Mr Darcy. And yet, Elizabeth Bennet's dexterity in destroying zombies leaves her able to ponder the trivial moments of her life; not that potential marriage is regarded as such within the Bennet household. Elizabeth's parents are determined to wed their daughters to some wealthy newcomers, and while she isn't the prettiest of her sisters, her down-to-earth and bookish nature is enough to catch Mr Darcy's eye. But this isn't a straight-forward relationship; this couple have a lot of feelings to unlock while defending each other against flesh-eating fiends. Let's just hope death doesn't get in the way of what could truly be a match made in heaven.
'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies' is the long-awaited big screen adaptation of the 2009 graphic novel of the same name by Seth Grahame-Smith, which in turn is a unique parody of Jane Austen's popular 1813 read 'Pride And Prejudice'. The film has been directed and written by Burr Steers ('Igby Goes Down', '17 Again', 'The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud') and is set to hit UK cinemas on February 12th 2016, just in time for Valentine's Day.
