Connelly and Bettany don't know they're 'Born'

But they soon will as the real-life couple are set to star in a horror flick going by that very name.

Jun 12 2007

Real-life couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly are to re-team for live-action/claymation horror hybrid 'Born'.

The talented pair, who previously starred together in 'A Beautiful Mind', will play an ambitious couple who relocate to a seemingly idyllic English village to raise a family. They become embroiled in a terrifying struggle between good and evil when the husband, a claymation artist, discovers that his characters have come to life and are acting out a nightmare.

Guillermo Del Toro will produce, Dan Simpson will direct from a script he wrote with Paul Kaye, and the animated sequences will be created by Chiodo Bros Prods, who worked on 'Elf' and 'Team America: World Police'.

'Born' is set to shoot in the UK this summer.
