A UK trailer has been released for John Landis’ big screen comeback Burke & Hare. The director hasn’t helmed a theatrical film in years, and he’s finally decided to make a come back with this horror comedy starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis. Check it out…
We’re really looking forward to John Landis’ adaptation of Burke and Hare. Not just because of Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis but because it marks Landis’ return to feature films. He’s been away for too long and it’s time for him to get back to his roots, horror and comedy! Over at /Film, they’ve gotten a hold of an early poster for the film that features the title characters as well as Isla Fisher and a few random body parts…
The first photos have surfaced from the upcoming dark comedy Burke & Hare via the UK website, the Daily Mail. They include the two main characters as played by Simon Pegg and the recently added Andy Serkis. This will mark the first film that director John Landis has tackled in a very long time, and from the looks of these photos his return might be well worth the wait.
If you’re still spinning over the casting news that David Tennant will no longer star in the upcoming dark comedy Burke & Hare, there’s more where that came from. No one will be replaced, but several other well known actors have signed on to the film. According to THR, Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis will be joined by Tom Wilkinson and Isla Fisher in the John Landis production.
We should have known that it was too good to be true. Our favorite “Dr. Who,” David Tennant will no longer star in the upcoming dark comedy, Burke & Hare. It’s the first film that director John Landis has helmed in what seems like forever and it originally had Tennant starring opposite Simon Pegg. If that wasn’t a recipe for greatness I don’t know what is. Unfortunately it looks as if Tennant is out and Andy Serkis is in.
This may night be the reunion you were looking for (Ghostbusters 3), but Dan Aykroyd‘s most recent film gig is still pretty eventful. The actor will once again join director John Landis in a feature film and this time it’s for the upcoming adaptation of Burke and Hare. The leads have already been cast with Simon Pegg and David Tennant in the title roles, so this should be interesting.
Simon Pegg will be joined by a famous doctor for his next film Burke & Hare. David Tennant best known for his tenure on the popular sci-fi series Doctor Who, has been cast as Pegg’s partner in crime for the project according to Twitch.
John Landis is back on the movie scene. According to /Film, the director has cast Simon Pegg in his upcoming film, Burke & Hare. Fans are used to seeing both Landis and Pegg work in the comedic-horror field, so Burke & Hare shouldn’t be that much of a stretch. The story centers on two Irishman who murder for medicine.
