Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are teaming up for a new horror-comedy project that brings back some nostalgic laughs, while also unleashing some terror. The dynamic duo, best known for their Nickelodeon show "Kenan & Kel," has announced plans to star in and produce the upcoming film "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein."
Inspired by classic comedy duo Abbott and Costello's monster movies, particularly "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" from 1948, Thompson and Mitchell will play two delivery drivers who find themselves face-to-face with Frankenstein's monster. What follows is an ordinary night turned into a fight for survival.
"We're excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it," said Thompson in a statement. "We're tapping into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new." Mitchell added, "Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into that, while also trying something completely unexpected."
The script for the film is being written by Jonah Feingold, with filming set to begin this summer. As of now, a director has not been announced.
In a nod to the classic monster movies, the logline for "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein" reads: "Two delivery drivers' routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein's monster – turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival."
The timing of this new project couldn't be more fitting, given the recent resurgence of Mary Shelley's classic tale in popular culture. Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" (2020) and Maggie Gyllenhaal's upcoming "The Bride!" starring Christian Bale as Frankenstein's monster have already brought back Frankenstein's Monster to the big screen.
For Thompson and Mitchell, this project is a chance to revisit their comedic roots while exploring new territory in horror. With "Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein" set to become a part of the popular franchise, fans can expect plenty of laughs and thrills from this unlikely duo's latest adventure.

. Their dynamic duo energy is still magic even after all these years. The idea of them teaming up for a horror-comedy is super intriguing, too - who would’ve thought they could make Frankenstein's monster funny? 
I mean, the classic Abbott and Costello vibe is a great nod to their comedic roots, but it’s also cool that they’re pushing themselves into new territory. It feels like the perfect opportunity for them to explore some new scares... or should I say, laughs 
They're bringing back the nostalgia with this horror-comedy project, and it's gonna be lit! 
I'm low-key excited to see what they come up with, especially since they're trying something new while still tapping into their comedic roots. It's like, "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

it's like they're bringing back the nostalgia vibes but also trying something fresh, which is perfect. I love that they're playing delivery drivers, it's just a normal guy thing, you know? But then Frankenstein's monster shows up and everything changes, it's like the ultimate comedy horror mashup! 
. It's like they're tapping into their comedic roots and then throwing in some horror elements – it's gotta be hilarious! 
I'm all about the nostalgia vibes right now and this project has me feeling all the feels.
