Robert Carlyle and Colin Firth will star in Antonia Bird's The Meat Trade, with an original screenplay by Trainspotting novelist Irvine Welsh, reports Variety.
Set in Edinburgh, the gothic horror comedy is a contemporary reworking of the crimes of the 19th century bodysnatchers Burke and Hare. This notorious duo made a living robbing graves to provide doctors with cadavers for experimentation. When the supply of corpses dried up, they started killing tramps.
