BD's David Harley writes in that David Tennant, star of "Dr Who", has been cast alongside Simon Pegg in Burke and Hare, as was announced by director John Landis this weekend at the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, FL. Based on a true story, Burke And Hare is about two 19th century graverobbers who find a lucrative business providing cadavers for an Edinburgh medical school. The screenplay was penned by Piers Ashworth and Nick Moorcroft.

I have to see this now. Pegg, Tennant, and Landis should equal a slice of fried gold.

The historical Burke and Hare were not grave robbers. They were serial killers who sold the bodies of their victims to Edinburgh University. BTW. Great casting. David Tennant rocked as Dr. Who.

I highly recommend everyone checking out "I SELL THE DEAD" which is a similar yarn holding the same basic story line, or even eyeing a turn at a film called "THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVIL'S" both very much worth a watch or two.

Wlad, your right. I dont mean to bash this movie, but turning a true story into a dark comedy? It doesnt sound right to me...

or maybe its not a comedy. my mistake.

Still, itll be interesting to see Pegg take on a different role if the movie is what I think it is.

I love Simon Pegg and David Tennant. I was in fangirl heaven when I heard they both will be starring in "Burke and Hare". Simon guest starred in the Dr. Who episode "The Long Game". I will be in line for this one.
