Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Confessions of a Shopaholic) takes on the role of Ginny, an ambitious young actress and the object of Burke’s affections and Jessica Hynes neé Stevenson (Spaced, Son of Rambow, Shaun of the Dead) as Hare’s long suffering wife Lucky.

Burke & Hare is a comedic take on the true story of the 1828 Edinburgh body-snatchers William Burke (Simon Pegg) and William Hare (Andy Serkis). These two Irish entrepreneurs discover that a dead body can fetch a hefty price when the demands of the leading medical professors Dr. Knox (Tom Wilkinson) and Dr. Monroe (Tim Curry) reach beyond that of the local supply.
Burke & Hare is produced by Barnaby Thompson (Dorian Gray, St Trinian’s 1+2), executive produced by Nigel Green, James Spring, Paul Brett, Tim Smith and is written by Piers Ashworth and Nick Moorcroft (St Trinian’s 1+2). Director of Photography is Oscar
