A Fantastic Fear Of Everything sees Crispian Mills (once lead singer of Kula Shaker, and grandson of John Mills) making his directorial debut alongside Chris Hopewell. Hopewell is the award winning animation director behind a host of top music promos including Radiohead’s “There There” and The Killers’ “Smile Like You Mean It”, and is also the renown designer/artist of rock poster outfit Jacknife.

The film is a dark comedy and sees Simon Egg* returning to his British indie roots as Jack a children’s author turned crime novelist. His research into Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered.

*We're preserving this mistake on the wishes of one Simon Pegg Egg.

@simonpegg Dear @SFXmagazine in your #AFFOE trailer online coverage http://j.mp/IBLNRf you refer to me as Simon Egg. I prefer this to my actual name.
