Nice interview taking a look at the large amount of projects Edgar is currently working on and what's going on with each of them, at PiQ.

News of 'Spaced: Invasion USA' at the LA Film Festival has hit our screens! If you're in and around the area on the 24th June, go check it out - sounds like it's going to be awesome. Two episodes of 'Spaced' will be screened with guests Edgar and Matt Stone.

Check out more details on Edgar's blog here.

Well, if you haven't heard the news by now, McSpaced has failed! We all knew it was only a matter of time, right? After seeing the pilot, the bigwigs at Fox decided not to commission it.

Here's an article which describes why that might be, written by someone who got their hands on the episode.


02 / 05 / 08
More news on the McSpaced fiasco sparked by a, quite frankly ridiculous, comment made by someone claiming to be Robert Green from Granada USA - see Edgar's blog. Also see Peggster.net for Simon's response to the comment.

Oh, and I forgot to mention them before, but you can show your support with this Anti-McSpaced button from Zazzle. They deliver to the UK, so get buyin'! [No longer needed!]

Exciting tidbit for you today - the Guardian [Variety article seems to have been deleted] have announced the working title for Simon and Edgar's last film in their trilogy... 'The World's End'! Check the two links there for more information.

Also announced was another film from Edgar which will be filmed before 'The World's End' called 'Baby Driver' - "a wild spin on the action and crime genre which will be set in the US."

Collider.com have reviewed the pilot script for McSpaced.

Have a look here if you can bear it...

'Hot Fuzz' won Best Comedy at last night's Empire Awards! Congratulations to Edgar, Simon and Nick. Check out a video interview with the guys here. You can catch the awards tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.

There's also a little bit of info on 'Ant-Man' here.


05 / 03 / 08
Simon and Jess' statements regarding 'McSpaced' can be found at Peggster.net and JessicaHynes.co.uk. And to quote Jess from the latter, "So don't watch it, don't think about it - buy our D.V.D coming out in America in the summer and SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!!"  Too right.


01 / 03 / 08
Welcome to the new site! I thought I'd set up something a bit more presentable as a sort of thank you to everyone who supported the site when I was having difficulties.

I hope you like it!


13 / 02 / 08
New forum launched over at Peggster.net!

You requested it, you got it... Those lovely people at Peggster.net have kindly taken us on board at their forum so as not to separate the fans and make fans of both have to sign up to two message boards. Come and join the party!

In other news, 'Grindhouse' is getting a full screening (fake trailers included) over at the Prince Charles Cinema in London, presented by Mr. Wright. This screening will take place on Saturday 8th March at 8:00pm. Tickets are £10 full, £7 for members. For more details and how to book please visit the page, here.

SITE ACTIVE AGAIN

As you can see, EdgarWright.co.uk is up and running! As some of you may know I had some hosting problems which are now sorted out - largely thanks to all of you who contributed to keep the site running. A massive thank you to all you special people and also to everyone else for their kind words and support, it means a lot!

Now onto the more important business - 'Hot Fuzz' has been nominated in several categories for the Empire Awards 2008! Please go here to vote.


12 / 01 / 08
'Shaun of the Dead' makes its terrestrial premiere tonight on ITV1 at 10:05pm. I don't care how many times you've seen it now - tune in again! You know you want to.

Also check out this podcast interview with Edgar on Rotten Tomatoes.

The 'Hot Fuzz' 3 disc Region 1 DVD is now on sale.

Hot Fuzz 3 Disc Cover

This special edition contains the following (copied from Edgar's blog)...

- All the commentaries, the Sandford Police (Simon, Nick, Rafe, Kevin, Olivia, Jim Broadbent), the NWA (Timothy Dalton, Edward Woodward, Paul Freeman, Ken Cranham) and the real Somerset fuzz (this is very funny, listen to the very end it cracks me up, they genuinely think no-one will still be listening in the final moments)

- A brand new-new commentary with me and Quentin Tarantino gabbing away like crazy about British films, movie cops and pretty much everything except Hot Fuzz which comes up 8 times during two hours. You have never heard two bigger geeks talk so fast.

- A longer version of THE FUZZBALL RALLY, very much uncut and unrated. Featuring the infamous 3rd cake flush and much much more. Warning, it really is quite profane. I'd like to apologise to my mother for the fruity language. It gets hard out there on the road.

- A commentary on the FUZZBALL RALLY with me, Nick, Simon and Joe Cornish. This was a blast too. Had a really good time with this. You must let us know what you think.

- Some other blogs that are previously unreleased. There some VW sponsored blogs that cover the UK press tour and premiere and some very funny ITUNES podcasts where we were so tired and delirious that we are mucking around a lot.

- Plus all the hours and hours of stuff from the two-disc that wasn't on the single disc. The plotholes, the making of, DEAD RIGHT (with two commentaries, Simon and Nick's is hilarious)

You can find it on Amazon.com... or elsewhere if you search around!

Issues with updating this thing have been sorted out now, so we should be back to normal! For those of you who didn't catch Edgar presenting "Jonesy's Jukebox" a few weeks ago... "Edgar's Eggbox" is available to listen to / download here.

Edgar has also updated his blog to include details of the special guests who will be joining him for the "Wright Stuff" festival. Check it out, the line up is really something!

I also hope everyone who could make it to the 'Spaced' marathon enjoyed themselves. And if you couldn't be there on the day, I know there are various clips up on YouTube which are worth a watch.

By now, most of you will probably have heard about "McSpaced". But if you haven't... Fox Television are planning on making a US version of 'Spaced'. It also seems they made no attempt whatsoever to contact Edgar, Simon or Jess before announcing it, despite implying that they are somehow involved in the project. Here's the news story from Variety.

A quick search, however, shows that McG and Barr appear to be basically the only people in favour of this. Check out all the links and what the man himself has to say on the matter on Edgar's blog. (Also worth visiting to see pictures of a truly excellent Halloween costume.)

And now for some significantly better news - "New Beverly has the Wright Stuff"! Edgar has programmed a festival of films for December of this year. He will also be presenting a fair few of them, so go to as many as you can you lucky LA-ers! Click here for details of dates, costs and the full list of films being screened.

Hi everyone. Sorry yet again for the lack of updates, I've recently moved to university and there are some issues with the network here. I won't bore you with the details but please note this also affects my site email so I apologise if you have sent me email recently and not received a reply. Now, onto important things - 'Spaced' marathon at the BFI!

Channel 4 celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and as part of its celebrations will be showcasing a selection of its recent successes at the BFI Southbank. SPACED being one of them.

On Saturday 10th November 2007 there will be a whole day of Spaced. Series 1 will be shown from 12.30 and series 2 will be shown from 19.00. If that's not enough excitement for one day, there's more! At 17.00 Simon, Jess, Nick and Edgar will be there to discuss Spaced, behind-the-scenes story of the series, talk about the bits that didn't make the final cut and how it inspired Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

BFI members postal bookings are taken from 1st October. Members online and phone booking on 8th October. Public booking 11th October. Tickets are £19.75 (concs £14.50) for both series and the talk or £12.50 (concs £9.25) for the talk and either series. BFI members pay £1 less. (Taken from Spaced-Out.org.uk)

UPDATE: There's now a direct link for all you lazy people... here.
