Nice.
Matt Smith is in this, too! Hopefully this works out better for him than Terminator Genysys.

I wonder if they'll do Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. I have that book, and it's along the same sort of lines as this one. Only with sea monsters.
I saw the more recent trailer.
O__O holy shit, that was pretty...whoa.
I mean, what would Jane Austen think of this?
Why aren't you laughing?
She'd be confused. Probably questioning what zombies are.
It got a PG-13 rating. Guess it won't be a gore fest, but if the trailer is any indication, it won't be as neutered as World War Z, either.
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.
Pah and fie.
Jane would be saying, "Where's my fucking money? You're making coin off of my characters and plots, you prick." while pointing a dainty .357 Magnum revolver at the head of the film's producer.
Because Jane Austen was always about the fucking money. She didn't die poor, let's put it like that.
I would honestly enjoy watching that. Famous authors learning about adaptations of their works and then hunting down movie producers for reimbursement.

It needs a good title. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Overlording the Underworld
Revenge of Recompense to the Zombie Writers?
Yeah, did she really write that Mafia movie?
Damn. I never actually got around to reading the book.
I always get interested in things too late and after they get adaptations. First Game of Thrones and now this.
Honestly, with Game of Thrones, you're better off reading the books at this point, anyway, because the show is a huge mess, IMO.
I'd recommend the opposite, because the show excels the books in several points as far as I've read.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
The show excels in gratuitous shock value and rape over the books, maybe, but not in terms of character development and story.
We'll have to agree to disagree.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
The books already have plenty of sex and rape. Just from youtube clips I've watched, the show looks pretty accurate to the book. Even word for word in some cases.
The show switches around characters and gives them storylines they didn't have in the books and that's terrible.
it's also gratuitous about sexualized violence, something it seems like the writers of the show seem to take a thrill in, whereas Martin never does that in the books.

YMMV in that...I stopped reading the books before the show was even made because I was tired of constantly reading about woman getting raped. The only difference is that in the book it usually happens to someone the reader doesn't care about. Well, with the exception of Daenerys, but her relationship to Drogo is portrayed so uncritical that I guess most readers don't even notice that they just read about a rape scene. The books romanticize the concept of a child bride to a disturbing degree.
The dangerous thing about the books is that they are so well crafted that you initially don't notice how exploitive they really are.
First trailer is out.
