Simon Pegg starts work on 'Big Nothing'
The 'Spaced' is cast in a new film, while 'Hot Fuzz' should finally go into production in March.
Dec 15 2005
'Shaun of the Dead' star Simon Pegg has just started work on a new Britflick called 'Big Nothing'.
Currently shooting on the Isle of Man, the film stars Pegg as a con artist who embarks on a blackmailing scam with an unemployed teacher played by 'Friends' star David Schwimmer.
Natascha McElhone, Mary Chaykin and Mimi Rogers fill out the cast, while Jean-Baptise Andrea ('Dead End') is directing.
And in related Pegg news, Empire recently revealed that he and Edgar Wright have finally got the green-light for 'Hot Fuzz', their long-awaited follow-up to 'Shaun of the Dead'.
Featuring Pegg and Nick Frost as two mismatched cops sent to the West Country, the comedy is set to go into production in March.
And while the plot is currently being kept under wraps, TO caught up with an actor involved in the most recent cast read through, who let slip that the film again revolves around the Frost/Pegg love story that began in sitcom 'Spaced' and continued so tenderly in 'Shaun'. Although maybe that was just our interpretation.
