British starlet Michelle Ryan, best known in the States for her role as Jaime Summers on the short-lived NBC reboot of  “The Bionic Woman,” has leaped into director Matthias Hoene’s (Beyond the Rave) horror-comedy Cockneys vs. Zombies.

Written by James Moran, the scribe behind 2006’s hilariously fucked-up frightener Severance, Cockneys vs. Zombies centers on a group of bumbling bank robbers who inadvertently unleash a zombie army while breaking into a 350-year-old vault.

Ryan joins a cast that includes Ashley Thomas (4.3.2.1.), Alan Ford (Airborne), Harry Treadaway (City of Ember), Honor Blackman (To the Devil a Daughter), and Jack Doolan (“The Green Green Grass”). Her previous genre creds include the BBC’s “Merlin” series and an episode of “Dr. Who.”
