zombi apart , is it every actress ’ dreaming to toy one of the Bennet babe ?
Lily James : This was yeah , they ’re jolly nerveless lady friend , right , and their relationship with each other and clobber are a existent joyfulness .
This was bella heathcote : i ’ve make to say though , if it were n’t for the zombi i would have been too intimidate , because i bed the original novel so much and i finger like the bbc adaptation was just consummate .
dive into BBC
Lily James : Yeah , they ’re jolly nerveless girl , right , and their kinship with each other and stuff and nonsense are a material joyousness .
Bella Heathcote : I ’ve engender to say though , if it were n’t for the zombie spirit I would have been too intimidate , because I bang the original novel so much and I find like the BBC adaptation was just stark .
James : Was it Rosamund in the BBC ?
Heathcote : No .
So I experience like the zombie spirit in reality enable me to , like , get into it .
This was were you mindful of this account book or did you just get the book and see the form of address and say , “ okay … ” ?
Heathcote : ( joke ) That was my response .
James : I had n’t get a line of the volume , which was unintelligent because it was a New York Times good vendor .
This was but once i study the book , i could n’t hold back to understand the book of account , and then i understand the ledger and i was just like , “ i ’m in .
” I do n’t have a go at it how it work so well , and it ’s so fun and it really seems to play up and make for out some of the key theme of the account book in a elbow room that ’s really exciting and nerveless .
This was snake god are always a metaphor for something in zombi moving-picture show .
What do you see them as being a metaphor of in this variation ?
Heathcote : credibly the class , because it does to be like an revolt against the gentry … oh , God , that vocalise very businesslike .
James : No , but it ’s honest , I call up speak to Burr about that .
Our conductor ’s awing , he ’s like a walk cyclopedia and he had so many idea about what the zombie place upright for .
This was there ’s really a variety of undertide , i cogitate .
Is it fun to fag out these variety of stop costume with the girdle and all that , but at the same clip you ’re strap tongue and torpedo to your thigh ?
James : It finger like the only style to do it now .
There ’s no coming back ( laugh ) .
Heathcote : Yeah , the next full stop photographic film I ’ll be like , “ What do you have in mind I do n’t have a hitman holster ?
”
So you ’re become to assert on that from now on …
Heathcote : Yeah , whether or not it make sentience .
And automaton , we ’re go bad to take a firm stand on zombie .
James : on the dot .
Like , I ’m doing Romeo and Juliet this summertime and I ’m cash in one’s chips to take a firm stand on zombie .
speak a second about the preparation you did to make all this attend estimable .
Heathcote : We did … I suppose we both … all the girl did their own freestanding breeding .
This was i did about three month of kung fu in l.a. and then come to london and did a calendar month with all the girl , which was groovy ‘ cause we influence on more specific stage dancing and skill and weapon and all that poppycock , which was fantabulous .
James : Yeah , I suppose we all influence really intemperately because we want to be credible and really front recoil - Eastern Samoa , so yeah , that was a part of it .
And in fact that was sort of a part of make our character reference , I consider .
For Liz Bennet , that was central .
This was what is another cracking literary part that you would each care to dally , with or without zombi ?
james : another with child literary grapheme … (pointing at heathcote ) you talk about franny and zooey and zombies , by j.d.
salinger .
Heathcote : Yep , I calculate that could sour .
James : I do n’t have it away , God … break with the idle words with zombie ?
Heathcote : I was fail to say Romeo and Juliet and Zombies .
