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:...

Having worked together for nearly two decades, the comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have started an entertainment company together. The longtime friends will call their new company Stolen Picture, and have already decided on a first project, a comedy-horror titled Slaughterhouse Rulez.
The film will be set at a topnotch boarding school where status means everything. The protagonist, Don Wallace, is the new kid, learning the nuances of this strange institution while Sixth Formers (older students 16-18) strictly enforce the archaic laws and rituals of the school.
Meanwhile, a nearby fracking operation causes earthquakes and a very ominous sinkhole to appear that releases unimaginable horrors upon the school. With the school’s social hierarchy reset, the students and faculty must find a way to survive.
It’s not surprising that Pegg and Frost would choose a comedy-horror movie to be their company’s maiden voyage considering the...

A man wakens in the morning and cleanses himself for prayer. He's a Muslim and in order to pray he should have been clothed not half naked! Walid (Walid Amini) meets his friend at the bus stop and he tells him he can have his notes as he won't be needing them anymore; implying he's about to do something like ending his life. Walid's friend can't get on the bus as he doesn't have fare. Moments later the bus explodes. He could have borrowed money from his friend. But not getting on he makes it look like he knows what is about to happen, the suicide aspect aside. This episode was filmed 2009 and appeared to be rather insensitive to the 7/7 bombings in London, choosing the bus as the target. Walid is viewed as the bomber more than his friend as he's still alive, they could have been in league together.
