Simon Pegg
British actor Simon Pegg just tweeted the following:
Just back from a Jack the Ripper walk in the East End. Weird to think he was active when my great grandparents were alive. Fascinating stuff Any of you guides take him out?

You know, I could picture Simon Pegg doing a good comedy about the Whitechapel murders--maybe playing Walter Dew.
Burke and Hare wasn't bad--aside from being ruined by an American director....

Todays update:
Dreamt that a faceless man in a suit, ran down a dark alley on all fours towards me at inhuman speed. Post Ripper tour stress disorder.

Pegg is currently working on A Fantastic Fear of Everything. Here is a plot synopsis courtesy of the Internet Movie Database.
Jack is 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. The IMDB page is here, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2006040/

Nah, it wasn't me. I DID have a first last night, though - someone passed out when I was describing the MJK murder.
