A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in this reimagining of Jane Austen’s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England.

Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley) is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield in order to conquer the undead once and for all.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is based on the book by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.

The film, directed by Burr Steers, also stars Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth with Matt Smith, Charles Dance and Lena Headey.

20th Century Fox celebrates Memorial Day Weekend in patriotic fashion with the launch of the newest ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER greenband trailer. To coincide with the trailer launch, 20th Century Fox has also announced that it will be screening ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER for thousands of sailors aboard the Navy aircraft carrier, USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Abraham Lincoln, in the guise of actor Benjamin Walker, who portrays the 16th president in the summer movie thriller ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, and the film’s cast and crew, will visit the sailors serving aboard the Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in June.

As history’s most beloved U.S. president and, according to the movie, its greatest hunter of the undead, Walker will be joined aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln by co-stars Anthony Mackie and Erin Wasson, as well as by the film’s director Timur Bekmambetov, screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith and producer Jim Lemley. Walker will introduce a special screening of ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER for the thousands of sailors serving on the carrier, and the cast and filmmakers will distribute Lincolnesque tophats, as well as fangs – tools that will help the sailors decide, in the words of one of the film’s promotional taglines, if they’re patriots or vampires.

In addition, the sailors will receive movie tie-in edition books, provided by Grand Central Publishing, and special graphic novels conceived by Bekmambetov.

The cast and filmmakers will screen the film at two additional bases at undisclosed locations.

“We’re very excited that 20th Century Fox and Navy Entertainment wanted to provide ABE’s crew the opportunity to preview the new ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER movie while we’re out here on deployment,” said Capt. John D. Alexander, Commanding Officer of USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). “We’re extremely fortunate that the studio wants to give us an early showing.  It’s something that we’ve never experienced before on this ship, and we’re extremely grateful for their willingness to share this with our Sailors.”

“This is really exciting for me to meet the ABE’s crew and screen for them our film ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER,” said Benjamin Walker.  “I hope it brings them excitement, goodwill and a taste of home.”

Added the film’s producer Jim Lemley: “We are pleased and proud to have this opportunity to visit with the men and women serving on the USS Abraham Lincoln.  We hope they enjoy our film and know how much everyone in the United States appreciates their service.”

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER puts down stakes in theaters everywhere June 22, 2012.  The film explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloody lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead,

Navy Entertainment, a division of Commander, Navy Installations Command, which operates the Navy’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation program, brings celebrity shows to Sailors deployed around the world for a taste of home.

Depp And Burton Creep Into DARK SHADOWS

Variety is reporting that Tim Burton is directing an adaptation of the 1960’s daily show DARK SHADOWS and will star Johnny Depp as the vampire Barnabas Collins. Woo-Hoo!! I wonder who will be cast in the roles of the witch Angelique, the werewolf Quentin, Doctor Hoffman and Professor Stokes? Forget TWILIGHT…this supernatural show used to be on when kids got home from school in the afternoons – good times!

Warner Bros. is ramping up a feature version of the supernatural soap opera DARK SHADOWS, set up with Johnny Depp and Graham King’s GK Flms. Studio’s signed Seth Grahame-Smith, who penned the novel “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” to pen DARK SHADOWS. Depp is only attached as a producer at this point.

Grahame-Smith’s already attached to adapt “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” for Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov at Universal. The history-horror hybrid book, which details Lincoln’s secret battle with the undead, hit shelves in March and portrays the 16th president as a highly trained vampire assassin.

Depp had obtained feature rights DARK SHADOWS in 2007 from the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created “Dark Shadows.” The series aired on weekdays on ABC from 1966 to 1971 with 1,225 episodes.

Warner Bros. hasn’t set a release date yet for the big-screen version of DARK SHADOWS. But the project was included as one of the 20 films covered in a deal — announced in late April — between Imax and Warner Bros. to release up to 20 Warner films in Imax’s format over the next three and a half years through 2013.
