Official ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ Trailer Delivers More Kicks to Zombie Heads
While the UK trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has more bloodshed, the newly released U.S. version ties the Black Plague into the rising of the undead, while also letting audiences known this movie focuses on the Bennett sisters – Elizabeth (Lily James), Lydia (Ellie Bamber), Mary (Millie Brady), Jane (Bella Heathcote), and Kitty (Suki Waterhouse) – several badass women who have been trained to brutally slay the undead.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies “begins with the tangled relationship between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England, and is complicated by a full on outbreak of zombies.“
It’s got an “Assassins Creed” sort of vibe, only with zombies. I also really like that the trailer isn’t honing in on the undead as I always find that to be dangerous territory. Zombie films should almost always be about the characters living in a world with the undead, not the other way around. I just hope there’s a narrative that feels conclusive as I’m growing tired of these zombie movies that end with either a cure or an ambivalent and vague segue as characters continue down a path unknown to the viewer (Romero did this enough, it’s time to get creative and do something different).
Anyways, outside of the bothersome CGI, I think the movie looks quite fun and doesn’t appear to take itself all too seriously.
Screen Gems will release Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which also stars Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Douglas Booth, Matt Smith, Charles Dance and Lena Headey, in theaters February 5th, 2016.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
