Lily James deftly wielded a sword as heroine Elizabeth Bennet in a new trailer for Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.

The 26-year-old English actress was ready to fight the undead along with her sisters in the film based on the 2009 novel of the same name.

The trailer opened amid the tranquil outdoor setting of a British Regency era country house.
