This is due for release here in Britain in a couple of weeks - in fact, it's down for release on Valentine's day, so, woo - and I don't think there's been a thread on it thus far, so here we are.
From the wiki;
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing -- the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford.
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny’s puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel’s growing frustration.
However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny’s dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality.
I've already mentioned that the trailer makes me a very happy bunny, so it's no surprise I fall on the "Going to be very, very good" side of prospective opinion.
Given that Barbelith has thus far loved Spaced quite a lot, and also Shaun of the Dead a fair amount (which is where, I think, Hot Fuzz was last mentioned), would I be amiss in expecting to find other prospective viewers here?
For further info, the official website is here, and contains a fair bit of stuff, including a jukebox understandably heavy on songs containing the word "Fuzz"; there's another website here, and the imdb page can be found here.
So. Excited? |
