Prior to that, his 2009 publication, Pride And Prejudice And Zombie, surfaced and went right into full film development that year. Six years later with Screen Gems set to release the film in the U.S. next year next to Lionsgate’s push in the U.K., we now have a teaser that directly highlights just what we can expect from a film with a title that no less welcomes the undead into this neat little spoof on Jane Austen’s time-honored original book, blood splatter and all. And thank you, Seth!
