Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - With GoT Actors!

Well, color me interested!

Game Of Thrones Stars Will Slay Zombies, Jane Austen-Style.

I never made it through Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice back in high school – it was the second book in a double feature that included Tess of the d’Urbervilles in my senior year English class, and I just couldn’t do it. However, high school students of the future will have a much better go of it since they can skip Austen’s literary classic and just watch the new film version, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – which includes zombies and stars from HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones. I bet some of the papers those kids write are going to be awesome.

The long-in-development feature, based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel (with an obvious tip of the hat to Austen’s novel of manners), has added two cast members from HBO’s wildly popular series – villains Lena Headey and Charles Dance – according to this report posted at Deadline. If I were the zombies, I’d be very nervous right now – and I’d not accept any wedding invitations, if you know what I mean.

On Game of Thrones, Dance plays Tywin Lannister, head of the wealthy and powerful Lannister clan, and the real power in King’s Landing. Headey is his daughter Cersei on the show – a master manipulator in her own right. No word on who they might play in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but they’ll be joining Downton Abbey’s Lily James, Jack Huston, and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith in the cast. So, we’ve got two Lannisters, a Downton Abbey cast member, and the eleventh Doctor in this thing – this is like a nerd’s dream come true. The only way this gets better is if they hire Bryan Cranston. Imagine the fan fiction...
