So, you're missing Matt Smith, are you?

Doctor Who fans: So, you're missing Matt Smith, are you? Well, take heart, as the lanky one has landed a gig in the long-gestating literary horror satire, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, from the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith.

After four seasons of Who, Smith will take on the role of Mr. Collins, a parson in search of a wife who proposes to Jane Austenish heroine Liz Bennett (Lily James), who intends to defend the stuffy English countryside from the plague of the undead, or "unmentionables." 

Smith recently finished Terminator: Genisys (that title! Shudder...). PP&Z starts shooting on September 24, with Burr Steers (17 Again, Charlie St. Cloud) directing.
