After many delays, filming finally kicks off this month on the feature film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and another new cast member has been added. “Shameless” and “True Blood” actress Emma Greenwell is the latest to join the fray.
Per Variety, Greenwell will portray the sister of Douglas Booth’s character, Mr. Bingley, the good-natured and wealthy pal of Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley).
The film co-stars Lily James as Elizabeth Bennet, Jack Huston as George Wickham, and Bella Heathcote as Elizabeth’s sister. Huston’s Wickham and James’ Bennet are immediately attracted to each other, and he’s familiar with her combat skills. Wickham aims to teach zombies to fight, and he wins her over with his theories regarding training them.
Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down, Charlie St. Cloud) will direct from a screenplay by himself and David O. Russell based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s mash-up novel.
Brian Oliver, Allison Shearmur, Sean McKittrick, Natalie Portman, Annette Savitch, Tyler Thompson, and Marc Butan will produce the film, which mixes the 1817 Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice with a legion of bloodthirsty undead, on behalf of Sierra/Affinity, which is also handling foreign sales. Cross Creek Pictures acquired domestic rights with a commitment for a wide U.S. release.
