It's interesting to add zombies to stories: Matt Smith

Actor Matt Smith, who will be seen in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", finds it interesting to have zombies in a story.

"It's quite interesting to add zombies to any story. Somehow, it makes the stakes more dynamic," Smith said in a statement.

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is based on Seth Garahame-Smith's popular parody of the classic Jane Austen romance novel.

Talking about the film further, Smith said: "I went back to the original book as a source material to try to sort of make things up. Burr Steers, director allowed a platform and environment where you could take risks and throw things out there that weren't in the script."

In the movie, Smith will essay Mr. Collins, who tries to woo Lizzie Bennet (played by Lily James) in his attempts to secure a wife.A

The film is releasing on February 19.
