Former Doctor Who Matt Smith will go back in time as Mr. Collins in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, Burr Steers' adaptation of the horror mash-up novel. He joins Lily James, Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, and Sam Riley in the film which takes Jane Austen's classic and throws a zombie outbreak into the mix. Smith also has a role in Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River. [THR]
Mackenzie Davis, who was so good in Breathe In and What If, will join Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain in The Martian. Ridley Scott is directing the adaptation of Anthony Weir's novel which follows "an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars and must figure out how to survive long enough to return home to Earth." So that's a cast I would kill to see in anything. Filming begins this fall, but if you're itching to see Davis in action you can catch her on AMC's Halt and Catch Fire which everyone says is good and I've yet to watch.
