Tywin Lannister may have been killed off in 'Game of Thrones,' but that doesn't mean Charles Dance can't reunite with the actress who plays Cersei Lannister to take on a completely new enemy: the undead.
That's right. The feistiest Lannisters have left Westeros to fight zombies in 19th Century England.
The new trailer for 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' had just been released and it offers a glimpse at Lena Headey as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, who tells Elizabeth Bennet, "I don't know which I admire more, your skill as a warrior or your resolve as a woman." Charles Dance, who plays Elizabeth's father in the film, is also seen talking about his daughters' skills, saying that they are "trained for battle, not the kitchen."
The synopsis for the film reads as follows:
"Jane Austen's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England is faced with a new challenge -- an army of undead zombies."
The casting of Lena Headey and Charles Dance couldn't be more perfect, since their characters seem to show similarities to their roles in 'Game of Thrones.' The version of Lady Catherine in 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' proves to be a formidable foe for Elizabeth Bennet, while Mr. Bennet trains his daughters in the art of war.
'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is based on Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 parody novel on the Jane Austen classic. Although Natalie Portman was initially approached to star in the film, she decided to sign on as producer instead. The role of Elizabeth Bennet was given to 'Cinderella' star Lily James.
The movie also stars Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Suki Waterhouse, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth and former 'Doctor Who' star Matt Smith. 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is directed by Burr Steers and will premiere on February 5, 2016.
