Chic geek Simon Pegg is starring in A Fantastic Fear Of Everything , playing a children’s author turned crime novelist.

His character's research༒ into the lives of Victorian serial killers tur🐼ns him into a paranoid wreck – a condition made much worse when Hollywood decides to make a film based on his findings.

Former Kula Shaker (r𝓰emember them?) frontman Crispian Mills wrote the script and is co-directing with animator Chris Hopewell.

The psycho comedy is currently sܫhooting at Shepperton studios and is the first project to be backed by Pinewood&rsꦫquo;s new initiative to support low budget British films.

“We have waited for the right project, at the right time to launch our new investment scheme 🥂and with the involvement of Kee𝄹l Films, Universal Acquisitions and Simon Pegg this is the perfect fit for the Studios,” Pinewood chief executive Ivan Dunleavy told Screen.
