Doctor Who star David Tennant and soon-to-be Tintin star Simon Pegg are teaming for the lead roles in the period comedy Burke and Hare.
Based on the true story about the famous graverobbers, ‘Burke And Hare’ follows the hapless exploits of two men (Pegg as Burke, Tennant as Hare) as they fall into the highly profitable business of providing cadavers for the medical fraternity in 19th Century Edinburgh, then the centre of medical learning which was always short of bodies.
Legendary An American Werewolf in London and Animal House director John Landis will helm the project, his first narrative feature film since 1998′s “Susan’s Plan”.
Pegg appeared on Doctor Who in the first year of its relaunch in 2005 when Christopher Eccleston played the titular Time Lord. Tennant’s stint in the role didn’t begin until later that year.
Simon Pegg is soon to be seen as one half of the bumbling pair of detectives Thompson and Thomson, in the upcoming Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.
