Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis team up for the upcoming thriller comedy Burke and Hare, a film directed by John Landis. The movie Burke and Hare is based on the true story of two Irish immigrants in the 19th century sold the corpses of their victims to provide material for dissection. I guess it’s gonna be a dark comedy movie then! Anyway, here’s a first look at Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis in the movie Burke and Hare:

BURKE AND HARE
No Job Too Small. No Body Too Big. No Questions Asked.
“A black comedy about two 19th century grave robbers who find a lucrative business providing cadavers for an Edinburgh medical school.”

Simon Pegg plays as Burke and Andy Serkis as Hare. I can but think that Pegg would have been a better match as Hare though: he isn’t fat enough to play Burke!
