The first trailer for "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" has finally arrived and shows exactly what the title promises.
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is based off the Seth Grahame-Smith's best-selling novel of the same name and is inspired by the classic Jane Austin tale, according to Entertainment Weekly. The story follows the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, played by Lily James, and Mr. Darcy, played by Sam Riley, who not only needs to worry about their complicated romance, but also the threat of flesh eating zombies.
The first half of the trailer plays out exactly like a classic Jane Austin-inspired film; there is ballroom dancing, horseback riding in the English country side and high-society customs. The second half of the minute-long trailer feels more like a horror movie instead of a tale of romance in the 19th century.
The film is directed and written by Burr Steers, who also helmed "17 Again" and "Charlie St. Cloud" and wrote the screenplays for "Igby Goes Down" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" also stars "Game of Thrones" star Lena Heady, Matt Smith, Douglas Booth, Charles Dance and Jack Huston.
The film is expected to hit theatres on Feb. 5, 2016.
