The Walking Victorian Dead

After years of development and slowdowns and false starts, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies starring Natalie Portman Emma Stone Lily James (Cinderella) is finally coming to theaters this winter.

A mash-up of genres in the vein of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the movie features James as a still-feisty Elizabeth Bennet, whose fire comes not only from the place we grew up reading about but from a burning desire to stay allive in the face of, well...zombies as well.

Sam Riley (Maleficent) plays her Mr. Darcy, while Jack Huston and Matt Smith take on the roles of Mr. Wickham and the wife-seeking Mr. Collins, respectively.

Game of Thrones stars Charles Dance and Lena Heady are also features, as Mr. Bennet and Lady Catherine de Bourgh, while Bella Heathcote and Suki Waterhouse are among the rest of the Bennet sisters.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is due out on Feb. 5. Check out the first full trailer now.
