For those who might not know, this is the followup to Shaun of the Dead. Starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg (Ed and Shaun, respectively), directed by Edgar Wright, and written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright... I gotta say I'm psyched about it.

Early quotes from the creators said it was going to be an equivalent of a British Desperado or other type of action movie. Combining that with humor is going to be awesome methinks.

It's about an overachieving cop who is transferred to a dull part of town with an incompetent partner. Then they stumble upon some mysteries and stuff goes down and bam, movie.

Story sounds a bit formulaic, but then again so did Shaun of the Dead. I have confidence that this won't suck. Rather, I'm more willing to put my money on it being good.

Here are some video blogs: http://www.workingtitlefilms.com/featureProductionDiary.php?featureID=102

Doesn't tell much, but I saw them framing one shot, and it got me excited with just a closeup. But then again, I'm a total geek for Shaun. You won't believe how much i wanted to buy a cricket bat after that movie.

Oh jeeze man, don't even say that. My heart would be broken.

****ing Club Dread dude... and now their newest movie seems to be going in that same direction--it's about two brothers falling into a secret german society of beer drinking games or something along those lines....
 
anyone ever see their TV series "Spaced?" i'm a big fan of it, tons of movie spoofs worked into the plotlines.

I cannot wait for this movie. Shaun was one of my favorite movies of the past few years, and I don't even like zombie movies. (Sorry, Hudson, I respect the genre but it's just not my thing.) I'm just thrilled to see anything these guys do.

Cheers,

Josh
 
I've seen a couple of episodes of spaced, and yes, they are brilliant.

The Pulp Fiction referrence in the first episode of season two was about the coolest thing i've seen in quite some time.
