The trailer for A Fantastic Fear of Everything has gone online.  Simon Pegg stars as a children’s author who tries to switch careers and write a gruesome Victorian murder mystery, but his wide range of phobias  throws him into horrifying nightmares where he’s forced to confront his demons, which includes his love life, his laundromat (or as they call it in the UK, “launderette”), and a mysterious stop-motion animated hedgehog.  This is exactly what’s going to happen to J.K. Rowling.

I’m digging the visual style directors Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell have gone for, and it looks like they may have pulled off a nice blend of fantastical imagery and dark comedy.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  A Fantastic Fear of Everything currently doesn’t have a US release date, but it will open in the UK on June 8th.

A Fantastic Fear of Everything is the first effort from Pinewood Films’ initiative to finance low-budget independent British films.  They are off to a good start—at least in terms of the interests of this site—by kicking things off with a Simon Pegg vehicle.  Pegg plays Jack, a children’s author turned crime novelist obsessed with Victorian serial killers: “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’.”  Tonight we have our first look at Pegg’s wild-haired Jack, knife in tow.

Alan Drake, Amara Karan, Clare Higgins, Sheridan Smith also star in A Fantastic Fear of Everything.  Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell are directing from a script by Mills.  The image is pretty small, but there’s a bit more torso to see after the jump.  As added incentive, we’ve included a lengthy synopsis.

Simon Pegg has signed on to star in the dark comedy A Fantastic Fear of Everything. Here’s the synopsis:

Jack (Simon Pegg) 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.

I definitely like the dichotomy of children’s author/crime novelist and it sounds like Pegg could have some fun with the role, although I don’t know how dark the comedy will be based solely off the logline. Alan Drake, Amara Karan, Clare Higgins and Sheridan Smith are on board to co-star.  Crispian Mills will direct from his own script alongside Chris Hopewell.  A Fantastic Fear of Everything is currently shooting at Shepperton and is part of Pinewood Studios’ new initiative to support low-budget British films. [Update: We've added a much longer synopsis after the jump along with the press release.]
