Watch Crispian Mills’ A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING Trailer Starring Simon Pegg

Direct from the horse’s, er, twitter’s mouth (@simonpegg), check out the trailer for Simon Pegg’s upcoming film A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING .

Simon Pegg (PAUL, SHAUN OF THE DEAD) plays Jack, 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 life-line 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. A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING also stars Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited), Clare Higgins (Hellraiser), Sheridan Smith (Hysteria) and introduces Alan Drake.

Produced by Geraldine Patten, A FANTASTIC FEAR OF EVERYTHING is the first film to receive support from Pinewood Films, shot at Shepperton Studios and in London. The psycho-comedy is written and directed by musician-turned-filmmaker Crispian Mills (twitter: @CrispianMills), marking his feature debut. Mills is joined by co-director and animator Chris Hopewell as part of a collaboration with Collision Films, whose award-winning work includes Radiohead’s There There and The Killers’ Smile Like You Mean It.

The film be released in UK cinemas on June 8, 2012. Indomina Releasing will be the US distributor with no domestic date announced yet.
