These guys are up to no good
Sure, we’ve seen plenty of spy pics of John Landis’ Burke & Hare (as played by Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis), but no official stills have been presented until now. Empire scored a look which you’ll find below.
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.
We’ll have a full exclusive set report as we near the film’s fall UK release.
