A Fantastic Fear of Everything (new Simon Pegg film) - General

Nick Frost isn't in it and Edgar Wright isn't directing, but I was pleasantly surprised by this trailer. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JEAu5FfCGI[/media]

Looks quite interesting. I'll definetly look forward to it.

i'm not quite sure what to think of this from the trailer

Uhm. So... what is the plot? looks like a giant clusterfuck.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;35489002]Uhm. So... what is the plot? looks like a giant clusterfuck.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't agree. From watching the trailer I think it's about a man's struggle to overcome his own fears, whilst writing children's books (?)

[QUOTE=MightyMax;35489002]Uhm. So... what is the plot? looks like a giant clusterfuck.[/QUOTE] My guess is the man is trying to write a detective story but is haunted by a childrens book he made awhile back that people want him to continue. The fears are just a manifestation of that. So the puppet and such isn't actually real.

To me it looks like he's trying to overcome a childhood trauma that has once again surfaced

This looks great.

Makes me think a little bit of Spaced, only a little more insane.

[QUOTE=Pandamox;35488539]i'm not quite sure what to think of this from the trailer[/QUOTE] It's better then the trailer for that Seth movie.

Looks pretty psychedelic, but as long as simon pegg also has a hand in writing it it'll probably be good. Wait, after some research Pegg doesn't have a hand in the writing. This will be a hit or miss then [quote]It has been described as a low-budget "semicomedy" about a children’s author-turned crime novelist who has become obsessed with murder and murdering[/quote]

He looks like Sirius Black with that haircut.

The story itself makes it seem like a black/dark comedy. (of which I love).

Until it started going off the deep end with the puppet and magical pirate in the forest and everything, it looked like it could have been directed by Edgar Wright.

Remind me of Coraline.

This looks really good actually, I'm looking forward to this.

It looks awesome, I can't wait to see it.

I'm interested to see how Simon Pegg acts without being able to lean on his own writing or Frost for once (And he's also not playing a stereotype... sorry Startrek) . Regardless of how good the movie is I'll go see it in theaters just so I can gauge his acting chops better.

Looks like an imitation of a Charlie Kaufman movie...

Wait was that charlie brooker's wife If it is, I want charlie brooker to sneak into the movie.

does anyone know what the song is at the end?

I like simon pegg

This looks interesting, but god damnit I want to know what's happening with the final in the corneto trilogy.

I believe it's being written or has just finished being written. They're not mentioning any details of it yet, but it's comin'.
