The film is based on the real-life exploits of Irish murderers William Burke and William Hare, who killed at least 17 people in Edinburgh in 1827-8, the film may not hew too closely to the tone and severity of actual events. The movie stars Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis, and co-stars Tim Curry, Isla Fisher, Jessica Hynes, Tom Wilkinson, Ronnie Corbett and Bill Bailey. Landis, whose filmography includes An American Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Spies Like Us, ¡Three Amigos!, Coming To America, and Michael Jackson’s Thriller, hasn’t directed a feature film in over a decade.

The couple, are known for their steady silences when it comes to confirming personal news — they kept quiet regarding daughter Olive‘s birth, as well as their recent nuptials — so it’s no surprise when contacted for comment, reps for the couple remained mum.

We of course will report if something official is said either way. If it is indeed true – congratulations to the happy family!

I’m a bit hesitant to believe the news from this site and not a more reliable source, but the only other thing I have found is X17 snapped some candids of the couple in Paris two days ago (which we of course do not post) and in this photo you can see the supposed rings.

I’ll continue to update you if something more is said!

According to Womans Day in Australia, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have quietly wed in Paris, France, last week. As you may know there is constant gossip reports of when the twosome would marry, but this magazine is reporting they finally did it! Sacha and Isla are clearly very private so we’ll have to keep a wait out for any of their official statements – if there are any. If the news is indeed accurate, wonderful congratulations to the adorable couple!

Cohen, 39, and Fisher, 34, who’ve been engaged for two years, said “I do” in front of a few close relatives in a private traditional Jewish ceremony in Paris last Monday.

“We did it we’re married!” Fisher wrote in an email to friends the following day. “It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much.”

“I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss just us!”

Cohen was spotted wearing a ring in Paris on Sunday, according to X17.

To reflect, Isla is also currently attached to star & produce Life Coach, Un Jour mes princes viendront (One Day My Princes Will Come), Desperadoes (a Hangover-esque comedy). And although we haven’t heard anything about it in a while she is supposedly still developing and producing comedy The Cookie Queen and lastly Groupies, another with no talk in some time. In 2011 we will hear her as a voice character in Rango and Isla is currently filming her role as Ginny in Burke and Hare. Big things for our lady love!

Isla Fisher is attached to star in Universal Pictures’ high concept romantic comedy Kiss & Tell, written by Dax Shelby and Robert Stevens.

Sheldon Turner is producing the film, about a woman who discovers she has the power to see exactly how a long-term relationship will unfold with a man after kissing him.

Turner, who recently adapted the video game “inFAMOUS” for Sony, will produce with Jennifer Klein.

Also, this site celebrated two years online yesterday as well. Isla Fisher Web was launched on her birthday in 2008.

Pegg has been using his Twitter account to update fans of the movie’s progress, which has already begun rehearsals.

1st day of Burke & Hare rehearsals at Ealing Studios where I once held off a legion of zombies with an old Winchester rifle. Happy days.

Pegg has been busy finishing up the comedy Paul, about two comic book geeks who meet an alien while driving across America, as well as meeting with Burke and Hare cast.

Just had the Burke & Hare read thru. Great cast. Some lovely unannounced surprises to come. Stay tuned for them. There will be squeeeeees.

Now doing Paul ADR [additional digital recording]. Have been a Regency period multiple murderer and a contemporary Alien befriending super nerd in one day. Not a bad day.

The project is based on the true story a pair of British serial killers, William Burke and William Hare, gravediggers who sold the corpses of their victims to a medical college for dissection during the 19th century.

Serkis, best known for his work as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies, will play Hare opposite Simon Pegg’s Burke.

Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic) will play Pegg’s girlfriend, an actress looking for a patron who might or might not be an accomplice to the murders.

Wilkinson (Valkyrie) will play Dr. Robert Knox, an anatomy lecturer looking for fresh corpses.

The movie begins shooting January 31 in Edinburgh and London, bringing Landis back to the scene of his 1981 hit An American Werewolf in London. The Twilight Zone director’s last narrative feature was 1998′s Blues Brothers 2000.

The film, directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean), stars Johnny Depp as a household pet who embarks on an adventure to discover his true self. In addition to Fisher and Depp, the voice cast includes Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone and Ned Beatty.

Fisher spoke about Rango last month while promoting her current film, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Followed are edited excerpts of the exclusive interview with Fisher. Rango is slated for release in March 2011.

What are you voicing for Rango?

Fisher: I’m playing a lizard. I’m a hard lizard. It’s just a lot of fun. I get to tote a gun, and it’s just been a completely different experience from anything I have done before.

Is it you in a recording studio by yourself, or do you get to interact with anyone else?

Fisher: That’s what’s so interesting about Gore Verbinski’s process. We’re shooting it like a play. So we’re all on stage, and we act it out, and he shoots it with cameras. Then he’s going to animate the characters to match our faces.

That’s unusual, especially for a feature. Everyone involved generally meets one another at the premiere.

Fisher: Absolutely. When I did Horton Hears a Who!, I was just alone with the director in a booth. I’m really enjoying this process. It really adds such depth to the performance to actually see the other actor you’re interacting with and to experience it, rather than just be alone in a booth.

The couple, who have been together for seven years, are busy promoting Sacha’s new movie Bruno, which premiered in London last week.

Now Isla is set to star in an action comedy called Your Highness, which will start shooting in Ireland this summer, putting paid to any hopes of a wedding.

‘If Isla signs the deal, it will mean moving to Ireland for a while with their baby daughter Olive,’ says a friend.

‘With all their projects, Isla and Sacha haven’t had time to tie the knot. They have set their hearts on getting married in Italy.’

The couple originally intended to get hitched in August 2006, and had even consulted wedding planners to organise their special weekend in a medieval Tuscan village.

But it all fell through due to escalating costs.
