Secret Confession: I love Simon Pegg. I have loved him since I saw Shaun of the Dead. Loved him more once I watched, nay DEVOURED the brilliant show Spaced, and continued that love through Hot Fuzz and even the Mission Impossible movies. Hell, I even bought him as Scotty.
Pegg looking rather undapper in his new movie. Great hair though.
I am not quite sure what this movie is about. According to IMdB, this is the summary of the plot:
Jack is a children’s author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a life-line by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his big break rapidly turns into his big breakdown, as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons; among them his love life, his laundry and the origin of all fear.
That is one scary hedgehog
Sure. Sounds plausible. But they forgot the super scary hedgehog and Pegg running around a lot in his underwear.
Either way, very very curious about this one.
Also, seriously, if you haven’t seen Spaced you are doing yourself a massive disservice. Here is the first episode to entice you…
Looks great, I always enjoy seeing a guy like Pegg out of his comfort zone and doing something different.
Absolutely! And I think one of the things that has made Pegg stand out for me is his total willingness to try anything. It might work or it might not, but he’s game.
