Two Lannisters Join 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies'
As if the White Walkers weren't enough to worry about, now a couple of Lannisters are taking on full-blown zombies... and Jane Austen.
Charles Dance and Lena Headey, who play Lord Tywin Lannister and Cersei Lannister on "Game of Thrones," are heading to Regency-era England to star in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." (via Deadline.)
The movie's been in development for years, based on a 2009 parody novel that does exactly what the title says: it retells the story of the classic Jane Austen novel... but with way more flesh eating.
The two Lannisters join a cast full of popular British TV actors, with ex-"Doctor Who" star Matt Smith, "Downton Abbey" alum Lily James, "Boardwalk Empire" star and future Ben-Hur Jack Huston, as well as Douglas Booth, Sam Riley, and Bella Heathcoate.
It has not been announced whom Headey and Dance will be playing, but they have plenty of experiencing living in a society that's unfair to women and also has the undead, so they should be right at home.
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is slated for release in 2015.
