^{When did Maxim shoots get so old timey?}

I know that I work for the Internet and am supposed to automatically love everything Simon Pegg does by default, but this trailer for Burke and Hare really doesn’t portray the film in a favorable light. Andy Serkis’s motion capture looks really convincing. It’s almost looks like he’s real.

The story is based on the true story of Irish serial killers in Edinburgh, Scotland who murder their victims to then sell them as medical cadavers. The trailer cites the desire to save enough money to bang Isla Fisher as the motive behind the slayings. I can’t imagine a court where that defense wouldn’t hold up.

Check out the trailer after the jump…
