Manners meet the macabre in the first teaser trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

"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."

Written and directed by Burr Steers (and based on the Seth Grahame-Smith novel of the same name), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies stars Lily James, Sam Riley, Bella Heathcote, Matt Smith, Jack Huston, Douglas Booth, Charles Dance, and Lena Headey. The film is slated for a February 5th US theatrical release from Screen Gems.
