The British actor snagged the role of Mr. Collins, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a parson who will seek Elizabeth Bennett's (Lily James) hand in marriage.
All in the midst of a viral zombie outbreak, of course.
The film is an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's young adult spin on Jane Austin's original Pride and Prejudice, and will begin filming in late September. In Grahame-Smith's world, the young Liz Bennett would rather help fight the sudden rash of brain-gobbling corpses running amok in the countryside than look for a wealthy man to marry within the strict Victorian social structure.
Directed by Burr Steers (Igby goes Down, 17 Again) the production will also feature Douglas Booth (The Riot Club), Jack Huston (American Hustle), Sam Riley (Maleficent), and Bella Heathcote (The Rewrite).
