‘A Fantastic Fear Of Everything’ Trailer: Simon Pegg and His Wild, Comic Nightmares

Posted on Friday, April 6th, 2012 by Russ Fischer

Here’s a nice little treat before the Easter weekend begins: last year, Simon Pegg starred in a film called A Fantastic Fear of Everything, about a guy who once wrote childrens books but has turned to crime novels. But his crime research has taken a serious toll on his psyche and emotional well-bring, and he eventually has his own run-in with a killer.

Pegg has just revealed the trailer for the film, and it looks, manic, unusual and quite funny. It has a quirky visual aesthetic, complete with nightmarish sequences and what might be puppetry or stop-motion animation. Pegg is styled in full-on Jack Torrance mode, too. (Pegg’s character is even named Jack.) I think this one is going to leap to the top of some of your “must-see” lists. Check out the trailer below. Read More »

Simon Pegg Starring in Psycho Comedy ‘A Fantastic Fear of Everything’

The latest project to star Simon Pegg isn’t Star Trek 2. It is A Fantastic Fear of Everything, but don’t just label it as a comedy. It is a ‘psycho comedy,’ according to the trade report on the project. What does that mean? The central character, to be played by Mr. Pegg, is “a children’s author turned crime novelist whose research into the lives of Victorian serial killers turns him into a paranoid wreck, especially when a Hollywood executive decides he wants to make a film out of his findings.”

We’ve got a more extensive synopsis after the break. Read More »
