It's nice to see actors who have made a career with a certain niche or stereo-type break the mold and attempt a role that is out of their norm. That seems to be the case here with Pegg...and I couldn't be more excited.
Official synopsis:
Jack 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.
