Simon Pegg, Nick Frost are once again teaming up for horror-comedy

Comedy duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are teaming up again and will produce new horror-comedy Slaughterhouse Rulez.

The two first worked together on Spaced in 1999, and they have also starred and produced a number of movies together including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End as well as Paul, and the pair is set to join forces again to create the upcoming production, according to Deadline.

Slaughterhouse Rulez marks the first project helmed by their production company Stolen Picture, but it has been reported the two actors will not be starring in the film backed by Sony Pictures.

Slaughterhouse Rulez will be set in a boarding school and will follow pupil Don Wallace on his journey to settle into the institution whilst a group of sixth formers try to enforce strict rules on him and fellow students.

The project will explore the aftermath of a fracking issue on site, which causes tremors and unleashes a horror on the pupils, teachers, as well as the school matron, who will battle for survival.

The film will be directed by Crispian Mills.
