Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Team Up to Develop SLAUGHTERHOUSE RULEZ Horror-Comedy

I'm a big fan of the films that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have developed together over the years. In case you need a reminder, those films include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul and The World’s End. Now they are once again joining forces to bring us a new horror comedy genre project called Slaughterhouse Rulez.

The film is the first project they will be working on under their new UK-based production banner called Stolen Picture. The film is also being backed by Sony Pictures. The movie is being directed by Crispian Mills (A Fantastic Fear of Everything) from a script he co-wrote with Henry Fitzherbert (Love & Friendship). There's no word on if they will star together in the film, but I hope they do! It sounds like a cool project for them to be a part of! Here's they synopsis that was released thanks to Deadline:

Slaughterhouse Rulez is set in an elite boarding school – Welcome to Slaughterhouse – where boys and girls are groomed for power and greatness and they’re about to meet their match. The story’s hero, Don Wallace, is a wide-eyed new boy from a modest background forced to navigate a baffling new world of arcane rules and rituals, presided by sadistic sixth formers. Matters of status are aggressively enforced and conversation with school goddess Clemsie, are strictly forbidden.
But this ancient and ordered world is about to be shaken to its foundations – literally – when a controversial frack site on prize school woodland causes seismic tremors, a mysterious sinkhole and an unspeakable horror is unleashed. Soon a new pecking order will be established as pupils, teachers and the school matron become locked in a bloody battle for survival.

I could see Frost and Pegg taking on the roles of a couple of the teachers. It'd be great to see the actors make a movie together again! With them starting this new production company, it's bound to happen sometime! At least they'll be developing a bunch of projects together.

According to the report, Pegg and Frost will be looking to take on "film and television projects geared towards a global audience. The company will aim to produce a variety of scripted entertainment in line with Pegg and Frost’s unique brand."

Slaughterhouse Rulez sounds like it will be a fun flick that I'll probably enjoy. I'm also curious to see what other projects they end up developing.
