It is a truth universally acknowledged that a viewer in possession of a cinema ticket must be in want of Jane Austen… and zombies. So it seems with Pride And Prejudice And Zombies set to screen in the new year. In this retake on 19th century England, the five unmarried Bennet sisters are not trained for marriage but in the martial arts – ‘I shall never relinquish my sword for a ring’ – which proves rather handy
