Lads, it's the news we've been hoping for. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are working on a new project.

Obviously, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were absolute masterpieces. Two of the most quotable British movies ever made. However, the third of the 'Cornetto Trilogy', The World's End, left quite a lot to be desired. That's my opinion. Please feel free to disagree in the comments.
Speaking to Inverse Entertainment, Nick said: "Simon and I are working on something. We're trying to do something a bit special at the moment. It's a work in progress, and we may have some more information on it later in the year.
"I think I'd [want] to do something in the sci-fi world. Something a bit ghost hunter-y, or a bit Monster of the Week in a comedy. With two guys and a girl, it's like the X-Files, but they're not affiliated with any government agency."
Anyway Edgar Wright, the director behind the 'Cornetto Trilogy', hasn't worked with the pair in four years. So this announcement of a new project has sparked the hope that it will involve him in some way.

Nick added: "We're not Judd Apatow, we're not J.J. Abrams, so there are still people who say, 'I'd like to see this.' You're still made to jump through hoops. Everyone has a job to do and everyone has an opinion on everything.
"Writing Paul, Simon and I would always have a knee-jerk reaction to someone giving a note about something and think, 'What do you fucking know?' I think as you get older and you mature more, you realise, you know what? Listen to that note. It could be fucking great, it could be worthwhile."
So there you have it. Fingers crossed it's going to be as good as Hot Fuzz.
