Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are working together again on a new film.

They’re both lending their voices to a new animated version of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost.

The film has been in development for years, but producer Robert Chandler has confirmed he finally has funding in place.

It took us 11 years to do it, but we finally completed the finance-raise on THE CANTERVILLE GHOST with Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. The animated movie is in production for release late next year. It is a complete joy to be working on a film bringing Stephen and Hugh together again. pic.twitter.com/E4GpeH4nBJ

Fry is expected to voice Sir Simon De Canterville, the ghost who haunts an English mansion moved into by an American family, with Laurie credited as The Grim Reaper.

Miranda Hart, Toby Jones, Imelda Staunton and Freddie Highmore have all previously been linked to the project.
