John Landis's Burke and Hare with Simon Pegg
Fans of grave-robbers rejoice -- John Landis has found one half of his Burke and Hare pair, with Simon Pegg apparently boarding the dark feature.
The marvellously monikered Uncle Creepy of Dread Central broke the story, with Landis apparently making the announcement at the Monster-Mania Convention.
William Burke and William Hare were a pair of Irish immigrants who robbed graves and sold the corpses to Edinburgh Medical College for dissection in the early 1880s. Their sinister efforts took a murderous turn when they started killing victims and then selling the bodies.
No news on who will star opposite Pegg, though don't rule out his long-time partner-in-crime Nick Frost.
