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. Their first film under their new banner is the horror-comedy Slaughterhouse Rulez. 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.

Each episode is going to be an adventure, a potential haunting or something,” Pegg says. “It’ll start as a very parochial idea, a very small business venture for these people, but it will expand as the series goes on to be something far more global. It’s a language everyone understands, the mystery of the unknown. Shaun of the Dead was a very parochial story set in North London, and somehow it managed to get this
