Lena Headey joins Pride And Prejudice And Zombies; acquired by Screen Gems

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES continues to add to its stellar cast as Deadline is reporting that “Game of Thrones” stars Charles Dance and Lena Headey (pictured) have joined the ranks. There’s even better news, however, as Screen Gems has closed a deal for U.S. distribution rights to the film. Not bad!

Directed by Burr Steers, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES…

…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.

The film also stars Lily James, Sam Riley, Bella Heathcoate, Jack Huston, Douglas Booth, Matt Smith, and Suki Waterhouse.
