@@uncannyAnna But this movie is based on an original concept which was a novel

The movies are so similar bc this one lifts a lot of the lines from the book. Like it’s actually a pretty accurate adaptation just with zombies lol

[@PinkPopcast]

Okay we were wondering if the extra lines were from the book, makes sense lol

[@HuntingViolets]

@@PinkPopcast The book is a mashup (sorry I'm repeating myself in different comments, but people generally only see the comments they happen to see) of Austen's book with new material, so there are plenty of lines (whole sections, in fact) from the original in the mashup book. Even the new parts have a lot that is paraphrased.

[@sineadlucas3682]

I genuinely love this version of Pride & Prejudice because you can tell thay the cast fully went for it and, more than that, they enjoyed it.

[@PinkPopcast]

Their enjoyment is infectious 🧟‍♂️

[@jaimicottrill2831]

Pity that the plot is not like the book at all! If people are going to make movies, why can't they stick to the book material instead of taking the characters and setting but then going on a wild tangent?

[@sineadlucas3682]

@jaimicottrill2831 I think because there have already been multiple versions of Pride and Prejudice committed to film. There's the 2005 film, but also the BBC tv series in 1996 (not entirely certain on the date) as well as other, earlier productions. Pride and Prejudice has arguably, in its "original" form, been done to the death. If you want to watch more book accurate versions, then you have those available to you. I love this film because it's different. It takes a story I love in a new and interesting direction. It won't be to everyone's taste, but that's fine. The good thing is that if you don't think you'll enjoy it then you don't have to watch it.

[@jaimicottrill2831]

@@sineadlucas3682 Good point about it being done to death, as you say. I'm a bit of a book snob it seems 😅. But the BBC adaption in 1996 will always be the truest and most faithful to the book for me.

[@danifeatherby]

@jaimicottrill2831 if you haven't had ever actually bothered to read the source material for this film, which is the actual novel pride and prejudice and zombies, you would know that it is actually a pretty fairly faithful adaptation. Yes, mixed with horror tropes, but obviously written by someone who was a dedicated fan of the original pride and prejudice novel. Complete with pretty standard revenge fantasies held by most of us that love the original novel but never get to actually see in it due to the mores of the time.

The zombies were utalizing the consumption of pig brains as a way to keep from falling into a mindless horde state so they could outmanoeuvre the humans. Thats how they were able to outsmart them during the battle like Mr. Darcy said. Because the humans didnt think that the zombies would be smart enough to actually carry out a strategy. So it wasnt in fact "lame" of Mr. Darcy to feed them human brains .... I put to much thought into this😂

Hmmm seems like a moral grey area. If they’re not consuming brains then they’re not mindless zombies

[@allisonbeattie4738]

​@@PinkPopcast They weren't mindless zombies, that was the problem. They had already used their intelligence to strike Parliament and the Palace, starting the siege of London. The intelligent zombies had struck a pre-emptive strike to take out the human / living leadership. They clearly wanted to conquer and kill the living population. So this now being full out war, Darcy made the very not lame decision to take out the zombie leadership. Best choice he could make to save lives. Living people vs the dead who want to eat you. Not much moral grey area there. At least, that's how I see it.

The book is actually _Pride and Prejudice_ with parts taken out and other parts put in. The publisher had the idea for the mashup, and got Seth Grahame-Smith to write these added portions to the book. I don't think the book is that great, but Grahame-Smith did go on to write _Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter,_ which was written as if it were a biography of Lincoln, and I thought that was pretty good. PPZ did have some sequel books written by Steve Hockensmith. There was a publishing trend following the publication of PPZ to do other mashups of famous works, such as _Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, Mansfield Park and Mummies, _ and _Android Karenina._

[@anaisabelsantos4661]

[@barrymoreblue]

So, confession: I saw this before I saw the Keira Knightly (or any other) version. I, too, wasn’t sure what to expect. Was it a spoof? Was it serious? I effing loved it! This movie encouraged me to watch the 2005 movie. I had assumed I wouldn’t like it, because I tried to watch the Gwenneth Paltrow version of Emma and couldn’t make it through. Oh, how wrong I was. I love the KK version, I love the PPZ version, and even like the ‘95 BBC version. So glad y’all made it to the after credits, lol. The fight scene with Liz and Darcy is amazing, cuz they can finally exhibit their anger and emotions, instead of internalizing them. My favorite part is where she’s throwing the books at him with “She’s. Shy!” And that kiss at the end is what we were all wanting with 2005’s Liz and Darcy in the rain. They’d looked ready, lol.

When I was younger, and the books first came out where they took classic books ie: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice etc and added monsters to it, I was all 'Oh this is such rubbish, how dare they!'. it was actually pretty funny when you read the actual text of the books, because they literally used the same sentences, but threw 'zombies' in there in parts. but I definitely enjoyed the movie though. Matt Smith was hilarious as Mr Collins, I feel like he always does the best with whatever ridiculous roles he chooses to pick up. Lady Catherine being extremely badass was also pretty great, because in the original book she has a line about how she would be great the pianoforte, if she had her learned it, but in this one, she actually does stuff, not just comments on it.

That it could still have the same nuances with the inclusion of the zombies, that the zombie plot did not detract from what makes p&p such a beloved and timeless film! While when it comes to the film adaptations I prefer the 2005 I really liked and enjoyed what this adaptation did with the source material!

As you know, there have been many different versions of Pride and Prejudice over the years, but I personally love this rendition and how they incorporated zombies into the mix. It would never occur to me to do that, but they pulled it off! And I loved all of the comedic twists. I really enjoyed the fact that the Bennett sisters weren't these ignorant foolish simps but rather these bad ass bitches. Did you notice how during the first ball scene where everyone was running out to escape from the Zombies, but the Bennett sisters actually ran in to obliterate them? I loved that! And don't even get me started on Mr. Collins character. Dude was crazy nuts! I was dying when he was making Lizzie carry all the rifles to her aunts house just so he could get there early to get a fresh scone. And the mother asking Lady Katherine if she wore her eye patch for fashion or function? Wtf?! That was super random!

Have you guys ever heard of the movie Austenland (2013) starring Keri Russell and Jennifer Coolidge?! It’s a really good watch since you’re on the Jane Austen and Bridgerton watch train!

[@PinkPopcast]

it's on our list of movies to watch!

[@margaretkurek2111]

You should watch Bride and Prejudice, the Bollywood style version of P & P

[@PinkPopcast]

We want to!

[@cassecorrea]

Love this movie and that you reacted to it! Also, love the shirt Benji 😊

This is such a guilty pleasure movie for me lol. It’s definitely a movie that you don’t watch to take seriously, but I do genuinely enjoy how they weaved the zombies into the historical aspect. Mainly though, I watch this movie for Lilly James and for Matt Smith as Mr. Collins who is actually one of, if not my favorite version, of Mr. Collins. People can say what they want about this movie, but he was truly an inspired casting choice and plays it extremely well😂

[@PinkPopcast]

He was ALOT of fun, and I was very impressed with his… “lightness of foot”

[@holly22972]

@@PinkPopcast it makes me chuckle every single time😂

[@Raealwaysreads]

The “my courage always rises” line is from the original book and it’s one of my favorites so I’m kind of happy it made it into this one 😅

[@kunjutiwari5309]

ommggg not rizzo watching the actual pride and prejudice a thousand times but still being shocked at mr wickham's storyline XD

[@lolagonzalez3682]

YES haha I’m so happy my comment and others’ from P&P has manifested into this reaction. I didn’t expect this movie to be a favorite of mine, but it somehow captured the soul and banter between Darcy and Lizzy while still managing to add zombies into the mix… ;-) Also, the fight between Darcy and Lizzy reminds me so much of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan fighting together during PoC 3 as Captain Barbosa marries them…. This is the only P&P adaptation that doesn’t make my brother fall asleep and he thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Ig you’d have to prepare yourself….

[@PinkPopcast]

Your brother should try taking a DayQuil

[@lolagonzalez3682]

@@PinkPopcast my brother needs standards lmao

[@SilveryRow]

Rizzo exclaiming "oh, Charles Dance is in this!" as he's literally narrating the intro xD And I still maintain you should watch the BBC mini series of Pride & Prejudice, if only for the iconic wet shirt scene ;) Matt Smith can make any character likeable, it's bizarre. Oh, and I want all of Lizzie's coats.

[@rdayton6410]

If you’re looking for more death comes to pemberly is a series that takes place a couple years later

[@InkaMoonDog]

YAY so glad you guys watched this thank you!!

[@PinkPopcast]

We are too!!!

[@clerbie]

24:47 "you cant say this if its not raining" LOL

😂💦

[@erikaboosh]

I missed their “turns about the room” It would’ve been hilarious to see zombies do that 😆

[@PinkPopcast]

Omg that would have been classic!!!

[@milenefontelas]

I only noticed it now, but this Mr Darcy is the same actor who played the crow in maleficent! God, I love that movie!

[@Jessisabore]

My favorite scene is the dance When they walk in slashing zombies and Darcy immediately eats his words while watching her fight

[@PinkPopcast]

So good!

[@beyondthesass162]

Patiently hoping you also react to the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice!❤❤❤

[@elizabethbennet2486]

Okay fine, I'll watch the original again. Alos, you guys should watch lost in austen and Austenland as well!!!

[@PinkPopcast]

Austenland for sure!!! ❤

[@alizzealvarez04]

I had an OBSESSION when this came out literally watched it so many times! I really enjoy this movie a lot and I haven’t seen the original one with Keira knightly 💀

[@PinkPopcast]

Watch the 2005 version it’s SO good!

[@Ashely56]

This Mr. Collins is my favorite version of him out of any of the adaptations!!! Could be because Matt Smith kills every role he is in!!

[@PinkPopcast]

“Or was it his… lightness of foot!?!?” 👀

[@kailynncovington3907]

That was hilarious!! I haven't seen this movie in A LONG time, so I forgot pretty much everything. I recommend Beasters next. It's basically a mature Zootopia and one of my favorite shows. Trust me, you'll be hooked by the first episode. Also, did you ever watch an interview with a vampire (the TV series.) S2 is out now. PLEASE tell me it's not on Patreon. Please 🙏

[@PinkPopcast]

Thanks for the recommendations 🙌🏽

[@mirandasaralyn]

yeah, as others have said this film adaptation is in places more book accurate than the Pride & Prejudice film you reacted to, in some cases even the costumes in this are more accurate, because the director of the Knightely P&P just happened to prefer costumes from a slightly earlier time period and like most filmmakers, refused to work with bonnets.

[@PinkPopcast]

Wait… did they not wear bonnets in P&P 2005!?!?
