New Details For Simon Pegg & Nick Frost’s ‘Slaughterhouse Rulez’

It’s been almost a year since we reported that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, had teamed up to create a new production company, Stolen Picture.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the movie until now, during a recent interview with Digital Trends, Pegg revealed that a subterranean monster is at the center of the story, directed by Crispian Mills. It’s going to be really fun. It’s a sort of a horror comedy,” Pegg told the site. “It felt like the right thing for Nick and I to have as our first collaboration with Stolen Picture. It’s about a private school in the U.K. which sells off parts of its land to a fracking company, and the fracking company then unleashes a subterranean monster that terrorizes the school.

Asa Butterfield And Gillian Anderson Cast In ‘Croak’

Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) will star in ‘Croak’, the first live-action film from Oscar-nominated ParaNorman director Sam Fell. Fell will star along side ‘X-Files’ actress Gillian Anderson, Stanley Tucci and Jermine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows), according to THR. Butterfield will be playing a young Grimm Reaper in this horror-comedy. Butterfield’s Reaper character will be haunting everyday people while he controls the exit of souls from our world to the next. The other details of the film are being kept “hush hush”, but with a such an impressive cast, I expect great things from the film. We will give an update when we know more.
