Meet Bingley And Darcy From Pride And Prejudice And Zombies

Mr. Darcy is synonymous as one of the heroes in the much-loved classic, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. He is a character that displays both characteristics of pride and prejudice. This noble, sometimes outwardly surly man is frustrating to deal with but is secretly a man of passion and respect. In the latest movie adaptation of the classic he has an extra personality quirk, which is the art of slaying.

Screenrant were able to chat to the leading men on a set visit and were enlightened to some aspects of the characters.

The original adaption brings Darcy out of his comfort zone as he develops romantic feelings towards the main protagonist Elizabeth Bennet – who is played by Lily James. In this adaptation the feelings are still there with extra attraction as a result of Bennet’s slaying prowess.

“He doesn’t want to like Liz Bennet, but she stirs something,” Sam Riley, who’s playing Darcy, explains. “And when I see how she’s kicking ass, it does something to Darcy’s insides.”

Darcy is accompanied with his best friend Mr. Bingley played by Douglas Booth (Jupiter Ascending). Mr. Bingley is the hopeless romantic who wears his heart on his sleeve. He will also prove to be a bit of a weak link in the battle of the zombie apocalypse.

“My character isn’t the best fighter,” Booth reveals. “The good thing is, my future wife is f—ing great, and so is my best mate Darcy, so they keep me protected.”

 

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will definitely bring something a bit different to the British classic and to an audience who has been enveloped in the horror culture, more specifically zombies.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies arrives in cinemas on February 5, 2016.
