Sony Pictures Television has taken a minority stake in Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s new TV production outfit Stolen Picture.

The Hot Fuzz stars launched Stolen Picture in May and their first project is comedy-horror film Slaughterhouse Rulez.

Simon Pegg has launched a withering attack on Boris Johnson during an interview on BBC1's The One Show.

While discussing the plot of forthcoming movie Star Trek beyond, which he co-scripted, Pegg talked about the baddie, Krall, played by Idris Elba and quipped that "He hates the idea of all the planets working in harmony...the villain of Star Trek Beyond is essentially Boris Johnson."

Pegg also plays engineer Scotty in the film.

It is hard to believe it, but it is ten years ago that zombie apocalypse romcom classic Shaun of the Dead was first released. The UK release was on April 9, 2004. To mark the occasion the scripts of Shaun, alongside the scripts of the other two films in “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy” – Hot Fuzz and The World’s End – have now very kindly been made available to download free, complete with previously unseen sketches, lesser known facts, curious squiggles and background trivia.

I finally managed to see The World's End last night. Not at a press screening but in a normal cinema with normal people. Or as normal as people in Brixton get. I was expecting to sit there irritated by phone calls and texting all around me, but maybe it was the quality of the film, maybe it was the specially-shot Alan Partridge request to turn off phones beforehand or maybe it is just the kind of people that go to the Ritzy cinema, but I didn't see one phone screen light up during the 109 minutes.
