    Lily James Talks “Pride + Prejudice + Zombies”

    Lilly James has been out and about promoting her surprising new movie, Pride + Prejudice + Zombies.

    The role is surprising since Lily James, well, we haven’t ever really pictured her as the zombie fighting type. Especially after her turn as Cinderella last year.

    But, it will be so fun to see sweet Lily James kicking some zombie butt in period garb.

    Lily James clearly enjoyed it filming it as much as we will love watching it.

    A “bloody proper zombie film” is not for the faint of heart. Go see #PPZmovie this Friday if you dare.

    Lily James recently said of her character, the beloved Elizabeth Bennet, “I think that Liz Bennet is the most wonderful, forward-thinking independent character anyway, so having her in this world where she can fight and beat up Darcy was really liberating and fun.”

    She added, “I love her for all her flaws, for her not understanding her feelings and not being able to connect to Darcy—all those things that are really lovable.”

    Speaking of the dashing Mr. Darcy, he is played by none other than Sam Riley, who obviously has Lily James’ approval.

    Lily James said of Riley, “Sam is so deep and vulnerable and arrogant—and sexy! I think he’s such a great Darcy and I had so much fun working with him and he brought so many unexpected things to the role.”

    She added, “I didn’t know he would be that good at fighting and he was so good and really kind when I punched him. He was very patient.”

    What do you think? Are you excited to see what Lily James can do with Elizabeth Bennet in this new and crazy adaptation?

  • Lily James of Downton Abbey Dishes on Fighting Scenes For ‘Pride & Prejudice & Zombies’

    Forget the fact that Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is the best movie title ever.

    Lily James of Downton Abbey says the fighting scenes in the upcoming zombie flick are worth the price of a ticket to the theater, adding that she had a blast training and starring in the scenes.

    Speaking with Zap2It, the 26-year-old actress opened up about training for all the fight scenes in the upcoming movie.

    “That’s been really fun. I’ve loved that,” she explained. “When I do Downton I become a sort of pudgy little sludgy thing because you don’t really need to exercise, so it’s been good getting back into getting fit. Working with the stunt guys on this has been awesome. I feel like I can sort of get into some fights now and be a little victorious!”

    After starring in a slew of period pieces — Downton, Pride, Cinderella and the upcoming War & Peace — James says she is ready for something different for her next role.

    “I’d love to do different things now,” she said. “I was always drawn to that as a style. Some of the actresses I loved growing up, like Kate Winslet, I remember them and things like Titanic and all that kind of period stuff so that was definitely something I aspired to and I wanted to do myself but now having done it so much I’d quite like to do something where there’s no [boundaries].”
