Slaughterhouse Rulez set in elite private school

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are to reunite for a new comedy-horror film Slaughterhouse Rulez.

The movie is set in an Eton-style boarding school where children are groomed for greatness.

According to Hollywood website Deadline, 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’. 

But the fracking on nearby woodland opens a mysterious sinkhole and unleashes an ‘unspeakable horror’, meaning pupils, teachers and the matron must battle for survival.

Frost and Pegg will be executive producers through a new production company they have set up, called Stolen Picture.

Then  film is directed by Crispian Mills, the  former Kula Shaker singer who previously directed Pegg in A Fantastic Fear of Everything, and based on a script he co-wrote with Henry Fitzherbert, who is also the film critic  for the  Sunday Express

It is not known if Pegg and Frost will star in the film, or remain behind the camera.

They first worked together on the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced and made the so-called Three Flavours Cornetto with director Edgar Wright: Shaun Of The Dead (pictured), Hot Fuzz and The World’s End.
