Stanko's Stance

Director: Burr Steers
Writer: Burr Steers, Jane Austen, Seth Grahame-Smith
Staring: Lily James, Sam Riley
Release Date: February 6, 2016

• I did not expect Lily James when I loaded up this movie.
• This is such a weird concept, right? It is hard to picture why it was greenlit for a movie? I think part of what makes this so hard to fathom is that Pride & Prejudice (2005) was such an expected fun and emotional watch.
• Matt Smith being the creepy cousin was a good fit. Also, quite different than the short and stocky cousin in the 2005 version.
• One of the biggest problems for me with Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is that I never felt any of the characters were in true danger. I know there was a story to follow, but if they could take liberties adding zombies to Jane Austin’s tale, why not add in some other surprises?
