What you may need to know:
1. Ever so slightly NSFW.
2. Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg) is a professional assassin sent to kill Alice Taylor (Alice Braga). He soon discovers that he’s not the only one trying to kill her.
3. Pegg: “This script is awful. It’s lazy, generic, sub-Tarantino rubbish. And it’s painfully unfunny.”
Agent: “It’s three months in sunny Australia. Plus expenses.”
Pegg: “Can I grow a moustache?”
4. Kill Me Three Times is described as a black comedy. The total lack of jokes in the trailer is not a good sign.
5. Simon Pegg is growing increasingly Marmite with every role. Starting with How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (2008), he’s clocked up an impressive list of unlikeable characters in poorly received movies. Shaun of the Dead (2004) seems like a very long time ago.
6. As co-writer of the next Star Trek movie, Pegg now has the unenviable task of cleaning up the mess left by Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Fast and Furious helmer Justin Lin will take over directing duties from J.J. Abrams, who is otherwise engaged.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Go rewatch Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) instead.
Release Date: April 10.

Impressive that they managed to get hold of Tony Pulis
With the news that it will now feature a new Frozen short, this looks like a missed opportunity to Preview Cinderella Three Times.
You lost me at Simon P…..
