Simon Pegg’s latest film to hit America is in the paranoia-drenched comedy A Fantastic Fear of Everything, and as with everything starring him, it looks utterly fantastic, if only to see the disheveled Pegg go completely mental.

The film is written and directed by Crispin Mills and co-directed by Chris Hopewell, both of whom make their directorial debut here. The movie was originally released in the UK back in 2012, but is now making its way across the pond. You can check out the full synopsis and the trailer below.

In recent years Simon Pegg, the multi-talented British actor/writer who has become a hero to geeks everywhere thanks to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, has been balancing out roles in big-budget Hollywood blockbusters like Star Trek and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol with smaller and odder films like Paul and Burke and Hare. Most of Pegg’s fans tend to forget that he started his career in wonderfully out there British television series like Asylum, Big Train, and of course Spaced – the cult classic comedy he created with Edgar Wright and Jessica Hynes. Now that Pegg is a bonafide star and confirmed good luck charm for any franchise that wants to employ his talents (even the Ice Age movies), he has the clout to make darker, riskier films where he can do more than deliver funny lines with that priceless British comic timing of his.

Such a movie is Pegg’s latest, A Fantastic Fear of Everything, and the movie now has a trailer. You can watch it here below.
