After sharing the first image from Burr Steers' upcoming adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES with us last October, Screen Gems has decided to hold the release of the film a bit longer, scheduling it for a February 19, 2016 release, according to Screen Daily.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, which stars Ellie Bamber, Bella Heathcote, Lily James, Millie Brady, Suki Waterhouse, Jack Huston, Matt Smith, Sam Riley and Lena Headey…
…opens as a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton – and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers-and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.
Burr Steers directs from a script he jointly authored with David O Russell.
