At last, a film to look forward to. Rarely does an upcoming film fill me with anticipation these days (as most seem to be a remake of a remake of a book) but I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. The next film to follow Shaun of the Dead: Hot Fuzz.
The TV series “Spaced” started this for most of us. If you’ve seen it and are anything like me at all you’re also a fan. Thank God for DVD – if it had been released on tape I’d have worn it out by now. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are films that let Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright et al. play out all those games they started back then. Unfortunately I expect so much from the team these days after past successes that they’ve a huge amount to live up to. The trailers look as though they’re pandering to me and my kind though, and I have faith in their combined sense of humour. It has got to be good.
I think it opens on Valentine’s Day so I’d better start hunting for a babysitter.
