Pegg & Frost to write new film together

Simon Pegg has revealed that he and Nick Frost will soon begin writing a new project together.

The untitled production will be separate from The World's End, a movie Pegg is co-writing with his Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz collaborator Edgar Wright. Frost will take on a role in World's End, the final part in the 'Cornetto Trilogy'.

"Nick and I have just come up with an idea which we want to do as soon as possible,"


Frost added: "It's just about time and fitting it all in. We like working so it's good to have a bunch of things ready to go. That's the issue when you generate a lot of your own work, people think, 'Why don't you do more films?' It's quite difficult because you have to write it."

Pegg and Frost appeared together in Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and co-wrote and starred in Paul,


Pegg ruled out ever making another Shaun of the Dead feature, saying: "We won't be making a Shaun of the Dead 2. [Nick's character] is dead, what's the point? It'd just be a shot of a zombie playing the PlayStation, there's nothing fun about that!"

The pair also stated that it is unlikely they will make a sequel to Paul due to the extended post-production time required to create a host of computer-generated aliens.
