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 leads have already been cast with Simon Pegg and David Tennant in the title roles, so this should be interesting.
