John Landis & Simon Pegg - Need I Say More?
Mon, August 24, 2009 
In what appears to be the best meeting since chocolate and peanut butter, Dread Central reports that John Landis will finally step out of "Director Jail" and team up with Simon Pegg. The subject matter will be a return to form for Landis (horror/comedy) as the film will detail the story of Burke and Hare.
Long story short, Irish immigrants William Burke and William Hare killed quite a few people during the 1800s while cashing in their homicidal rampage by selling the corpses of their victims to the Edinburgh Medical College. I mean, doctors in training do need test subjects in order to learn!
Landis only seems to show up for retrospectives of past-glories (he was as quick-witted and chatty as ever on Larry King Live the night Michael Jackson died). On the other hand, Pegg is currently going quiet the career-high with Star Trek (and its sequel that should start filming next year) and the forthcoming Tintin and Paul.
The only question arises now is who will co-star with Pegg? I love those guys together, but let's think of someone other than Nick Frost please.

I'm sorry, but this is the second posting with this problem... be sure to keep track of your quite and quiet usage. You can do it quite quietly if you'd like. It's just that it's quite annoying... I'll be quiet now.
PS - Love the site... I check it regularly... =)
