The first trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies gave us only a small taste of what the long in development zombie/classical literature mash-up had in store for us, but now the first official trailer lays out exactly what to expect when the movie comes our way next year.
From the name, I didn’t expect the movie to play it as straight as the trailer leads us to believe, but it works. The darker tone works surprisingly well, and this trailer shows a nice balance between the period drama and the zombie slaying.
Released: 5th February 2016 (U.S.)/ 12th February 2016 (IRL/U.K.)
