According to The Hollywood Reporter, The "Shaun of the Dead" team is back. Rogue Pictures has nabbed North American distribution rights to Hot Fuzz, a police comedy featuring "Dead" stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, director Edgar Wright and producer Nira Park from Working Title Films in association with Big Talk Prods.

The film is tentatively scheduled for release early next year. Wright and Pegg penned the screenplay for the estimated $12 million film, in which Pegg plays a successful London cop whose jealous co-workers transfer him to a podunk British town and place him with a hapless partner (Frost). The pair stumble upon a series of suspicious accidents.
