"I Don't Want to Jinx It": Simon Pegg Confirms Plans to Direct His First Ever Feature Film [Exclusive]

Simon Pegg may be known around the world for his quick wit, iconic characters, and clever screenwriting — but now he’s eyeing a spot behind the camera, too. While promoting Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning—in which he will play Benji Dunn for the final time... or is it? — Pegg sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to talk about his work on the franchise. The conversation took a turn toward what’s next, specifically, whether Pegg has any new writing projects in the works. Turns out, Pegg is quietly preparing his feature directorial debut. And no, it is not a sequel to his... shall we say, "acclaimed" short film Au Revoir, Chris Hemsworth.
