After a long time stuck in development hell, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will finally hit our screen next year and now we have our first teaser trailer, giving us a taste what to expect from the classical literature/zombie mash-up.
Very much a trailer of two halves, it does a great job of juggling both aspects of the story, with the usual Jane Austen trappings of well mannered high society and elegant costumes giving way to some kick ass zombie slaying. It all comes off as incredibly fun and silly (just like the below teaser poster that echo the cover of the book it’s adapted from), exactly what you want from such a bonkers concept.
Released: 5th February 2016 (U.S.)/ 12th February 2016 (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is a fresh twist on Jane Austen’s widely celebrated novel. A mysterious plague has fallen upon 19th century England, the land is overrun with the undead and feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry. Casting aside personal and social prejudices, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must unite on the blood-soaked battlefield to rid the country of the zombie menace and discover their true love for one another..
