If there’s one movie that literally underscores the meaning of the phrase “trouble getting to the screen,” it’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Thankfully, though, this latest delay isn’t as troublesome as the ones caused by the merry-go-round of filmmakers and actors who signed on, then off, then on, then off…
We won’t be getting the film this year as originally planned because Sony Screen Gems has decided to hold Seth Grahame-Green’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for a Valentine’s Day weekend release of February 19, 2016.
Below you’ll find a look at characters Elizabeth (Lily James), Lydia (Ellie Bamber), Mary (Millie Brady), Jane (Bella Heathcote), and Kitty (Suki Waterhouse). Pride and Prejudice and Zombies also stars Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Matt Smith, Douglas Booth, and Lena Heady. Burr Steers directed from a screenplay by David O. Russell and Steers.
The film hails from Cross Creek’s Brian Oliver, Sierra/Affinity, and Lauren Selig. It is produced by Allison Shearmur, Sean McKittrick, Natalie Portman, Annette Savitch, Marc Butan, Brian Oliver and Tyler Thompson. Exec producing are Lauren Selig, Aleen Keshishian, Ted Hamm, and Sue Baden Powell.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies mixes the 1817 Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice with a legion of bloodthirsty undead. Seth Grahame-Smith’s popular novel plays with the relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England who are faced with the challenge of an army of the “sorry stricken” (i.e., zombies).
