Bit of a head scratcher here. Simon Pegg broke into our homes and smashed our hearts with Shaun of the Dead, a wonderful parody of the romantic comedy–with zombies. After wards, America fell deeper in love with him through bootleg–and now legal–DVDs of his TV series Spaced. But things got rough with Hot Fuzz, Run, Fatboy Run and How To Lose Friends and Alienate People (which opened below An American Carol last week.)

So it’s kind of shocking to hear that he’s signed a seven-figure deal to write three non-fiction books. BBC has more:

The Hot Fuzz star’s first title will be a memoir about his career and is due to come out next year.

The second book is expected to be humorous, while the third is a “highly illustrated, lavishly-produced title”, according to [publisher] Hodder and Stoughton.

Right now it appears to be a plan and get the books out over the next three years–just in time for Star Trek mania, where Pegg puts on his best drunk Scot brogue as Montgomery Scott. Still, isn’t it kinda early for your memoirs, Simon? Unless you’re taking the sudden box office backlash personally, we guess.
