The film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has had more false starts than we can count, but it actually seems to be going somewhere these days. It has an actual cast and even a real live filming start date of September 24th. I just can’t even believe it!

Beloved 11th Doctor (Doctor Who) Matt Smith is the latest to join the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies cast after wrapping on his latest American film job, Terminator: Genisys, according to THR. Smith will be playing the quirky Mr. Collins, who tries to woo Lizzie Bennet (Lily James) in his attempts to secure a wife.

We’ll be sure and keep you posted on the latest for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies starring Lily James, Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth, and Matt Smith.
