The new black horror comedy from John Landis
A Shock reader tipped us off to the first image of Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis from John Landis’ upcoming horror/comedy Burke and Hare, which originated in the British tabloid The Sun.
Landis describes the film as a “black romantic comedy” in spite of its story which is a comedic take on the true story of the 1828 Edinburgh body-snatchers Burke and Hare. These two Irish entrepreneurs discover that a dead body can fetch a hefty price when the demands of the leading medical professors Dr. Knox (Tom Wilkinson) and Dr. Monroe (Tim Curry) reach beyond that of the local supply.
On top of Wilkinson and Curry, the cast also features Isla Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic), Jessica Hynes (Spaced), Ronnie Corbett, Reece Shearsmith (The Cottage), David Schofield, Allan Corduner, Bill Bailey, Hugh Bonneville, Michael Smiley and Sir Christopher Lee! We’re looking forward to this one.
