Isla Fisher boards Pegg's 'Burke And Hare'

Isla Fisher and Tom Wilkinson have boarded Burke And Hare, the gravedigger comedy starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis.

The movie, director John Landis's first in over a decade, centres on serial killers William Burke (Pegg) and William Hare (Serkis) as they sell corpses to Wilkinson's anatomy lecturer Dr Robert Knox for medical experiments.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic star Fisher will play Burke's girlfriend, an actress who may be an accomplice in the killings.

John Cleese, Bill Bailey, Pollyanna McIntosh, David Schofield and Ronnie Corbett are also believed to be among the cast.

Production begins on Burke And Hare this month in Edinburgh and London, says The Hollywood Reporter.
