Run, Fat Boy, Run trailer

I actually saw this trailer last week attached to Hot Fuzz and I wasn't sure if it was actually a spoof or a real film. It turns out Run, Fat Boy, Run is a real film. Simon Pegg plays "a guy that leaves his dream girl at the altar only to realize 10 years later that she was the one". In order to win her back, he decides to take on a marathon where he is hoping he can win and show her his true love. Said girl is played by Thandie Newton, with Hank Azaria set to co-star and David Schimmer directing what will be his first directorial feature. Thanks to AICN for the heads up on the trailer below. Tons of nostalgic images from Rocky including the egg drinking, boxing workouts and running scenes. Simon Pegg is on the top of the world right now but it will be interesting to see what he can do without the talents of Edgar Wright although there are tons of funny and talented people in this!
