One sentence synopsis: the beloved novel by Jane Austin is adapted yet again for the big screen, just with zombies this time.
One sentence trailer thoughts: Yup.
Expanded thoughts: if it wasn't for the fact that I had already seen in bookshelves, many years ago, the novel to this (not the original Pride & Prejudice, obviously, but the 2009 novel Pride & Prejudice & Zombies), I would have done an epic eye roll at the mere sight of this trailer's title. Instead, I was mentally prepared for the sheer silliness of the premise... aaaaaand loved it. Ok, perhaps not loved it; the trailer hasn't completely convinced me, but it certainly has my attention, though now I'm more interested in reading the novel and getting the full details of the story rather than watching the movie.
So yes, this is the world of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, but in an alternate reality where zombies exist in the countryside. Whatever. The presence of these zombies will provide the slight alterations to Austen's original plot. Hilarity (or horror) ensues.
Expectations: it's on the watchlist for now.
