Giving Victorian Chase to Zombies

The long-gestating Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is finally cooking with gas.

Natalie Portman Emma Stone Lily James is set to play Elizabeth Bennet in the movie, which is exactly about what the title suggests: zombies roaming the world of Jane Austen’s most famous heroine.

Maleficent’s Sam Riley will be playing Mr. Darcy, Jack Huston’s also on board, as Mr. Wickham, and now comes word that Matt Smith has signed on to portray the wife-seeking Mr. Collins.

Seems like this one took a while to come together, but, man, is it coming together nicely.
