With the adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ finally firing on all cylinders the project from director Burr Steers (‘Igby Goes Down’) has managed to nab another cast mate. ‘Noah’ star Douglas Booth (below), who played the eldest lad Shem in Darren Aronofsky’s biblical vision, will take the role Mr. Bingley. Booth will line up alongside Sam Riley, Lily James (‘Downton Abbey’) and the ever gorgeous Bella Heathcote (‘Dark Shadows’). The British actor can also be seen next year in the Wachowski brothers latest sci-fi epic ‘Jupiter Ascending’.
“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.”
