It’s the first of two Grahame-Smith books on the way, with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies currently being overseen by Fright Night remake director Craig Gillespie.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the film stars newcomer Benjamin Walker, with a supporting cast tha includes Rufus Sewell, Dominic Cooper and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
