Simon Pegg is hot off the heels of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and already on to his next feature. A surreal new trailer for his upcoming movie Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose has been released. Pegg plays the titular American parapsychologist while Neil Gaiman voices the talking goose in question. The trailer, which offered a glimpse of this fantastical world, will also be screened at the Legion M booth at the San Diego Comic-Con

The clip introduces Pegg as Fodor, a self-acclaimed non-skeptic who is roped into a case of a family that lives on the Isle of Man and claims “a talking mongoose lives in their barn,” and its name is Gef. As Fodor visits the family and tries to demystify the claims about the talking goose, the mystery deepens, and he finally gets a chance to “see” the creature finally. The trailer creates a fun, atmosphere, full of twists and comedic moments.

What to Expect from Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose?
The feature is possibly based on a true story as in 1930s Britain, the Irving family was convinced that their farmhouse was inhibited by a talking goose named Gef. This phenomenon attracted several psychic investigators to the island back in the day and the upcoming movie presents a dramatization of the events.
