Edgar returns to the New Beverly Cinema at the end of the month for a Halloween special double bill. Those in the LA area have the chance to see 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky' (what else?) on the 31st and the 1st. More details on the New Bev site, and to be announced on Edgar's MySpace page.

Check out the totally knockin' poster for it too!

And a (late) update to that last post - since I've now got the internet back again:

Ed Potton and his editor Dominic Maxwell have apologized for the cover - Ed said he wasn't there when it was put together, Dominic said it was misleading.

Apology accepted.

A message from Jessica:

I was very dismayed to see the Times article the other week, with a picture of me looking like a love-lorn twat and "It was very sad. I loved him." written beneath it. I ACTUALLY said I loved Simon AND Edgar AND Nick, or course I did, we were buddies, they went their way I accepted that and was proud. Ed Potton obviously preferred to focus on his invention of the story rather than my truth. What a prick. No way were my 'eyes welling up with tears' I never cry, ever, not since my tear ducts were cauterized in a freak accident with a precision laser. At least that's what Ed Potton said so it must be true.

Yours pissed offly,
Jessica Hynes

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."

16 / 03 / 08
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.

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.

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!
