Back in the early Summer of 2012 the UK saw the release of the Crispian Mills and Chris Hopewell co-directed comedy ‘A Fantastic Fear of Everything’. And we had no idea that the US is still yet to enjoy the movie from first time writer/director Mills. But thanks to Cinedigm the project, which stars Simon Pegg (‘Star Trek into Darkness’), has been set with a VOD release on 7 January and then will be followed by a limited theatrical run from 7 February. A Fantastic Fear of Everything’ also stars Amara Karan, Clare Higgins, Sheridan Smith, Paul Freeman and Alan Drake.
“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.”
