Burke & Hare (John Landis' Comeback?)

[DarkKnight88]

Having not directed a theatrical feature film since 1998 with Blues Brothers 2000 and his last good film arguably being from 1988 with Coming to America, this could be John Landis' big return to feature films.

It definitely has the mix of everything that made him great in the late 70's and 80's with Animal House, The Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London, the Thriller video, Trading Places, Spies Lies Us and Three Amigos. Here's hoping for the best.

Never heard of this before, but Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis and John Landis? I'm there.

Rich at Bleeding Cool says it comes out soon and has zero marketing. Guess John Landis will disappear for awhile, again.

Story has been filmed many times before but never as a comedy to my knowledge, or as a comedy on purpose at least.

Slightly dodgy Northern Irish accents aside, this looks great.

I hope John Landis makes a come back of sorts. This looks interesting.

John Landis made some of my favorite comedies of all time. Particularly "Animal House" "The Blues Brothers" and "Trading Places". I have a framed one sheet "Animal House" poster on my wall.
