Originally it was said that Natalie Portman was to play Elizabeth Bennet, and though she co-produced the movie, the lead role ended up going to Lily James, who nails the insolate Darcy stare-down. The film was optioned by Lionsgate practically as soon as the book hit the shelves. There are also a whole lot of zombies, but just like in the book, they aren't scary so much as they are kind of dumb, and it's fun to watch women in ball gowns and up-dos kick the shit out of them.įans have been waiting a while to see the movie come to fruition. Instead, the film, which stars Lily James, Matt Smith, Lena Headey, and other acclaimed British actors, is a gleeful romp through the world as Austen saw it, a realm of heaving corsets, witty repartee, and verdant meadows glistening in the rain. As might be expected, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies the movie doesn't bother too much with self-analysis.
