Shaun of the West?

File this under “F for fabulous”…or wherever you put your awesome news. The team that brought us two of my favourite movies, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, are working on a third (and fourth)!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost told MTV that they are working on the script for a road movie called “Paul”. They won’t say much about it other than their typicals roles will be reversed, it’ll be shot in the States and it’s about “two British geeks in America”. The other great news? This is in addition to the movie they’ll be doing with Edgar Wright, the director and co-writer of both Shaun and Fuzz.

Be sure to check out Simon in Run, Fat Boy, Run a comedy (which made an appearance at the Film Fest) due out on March 28, 2008 (pushed back from an earlier fall release date because they wanted to avoid some competition from other movies in the fall.) The teaser trailer makes it look hysterical.

Are you guys as excited as I am?

  3. If you love Shaun of the Dead (or their other stuff) make sure to check out their TV series that started them on the road to fame - it’s called Spaced and it’s on Showcase on Sunday nights :)
