It seems Simon Pegg and director Crispian Mills (who some may remember as the lead singer of Kula Shaker) are trying to channel a bit of Wes Anderson style qurkiness with A Fantastic Fear Of Everything, or at least it would appear so from this trailer. Jack (Pegg) 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 lifeline 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. The film’s due out June 8th.
