Hot Fuzz
 

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a thread on this yet. It is being done Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg who also did the fantastic Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz is a comedy/action film about British cops. Personally I can't wait for this one. Check out the first two teaser trailers here.

nice little play on the shortcut scene from shaun of the dead.

Hopefully another slice of fried gold from the Spaced boys.

I have total faith in them. They parody with an obvious love and respect for genre films, so the tone doesnt come off as mocking yet is still totally silly.

Can't wait until March.

Anyone know what the music at the beginning of the second teaser trailer is? It sounds really familiar (and I'm assuming it's from a cop movie).

It's from the trailer to Lethal Weapon:

Apparently the music was scored exclusively for the Lethal Weapon trailer:

Thanks! I knew it sounded familiar.

when I saw this thread the first thing I thought of was "Super Fuzz".

that looks pretty awesome. the fat cop fell through the fence, haha :lol:

I'm ready to see it. Loved Shaun and Spaced.

The trailer is up and can supposedly be seen here , but I can't get it to play. Maybe you can.

Awesome stuff! Heavily anticipated this Spring!

*can't wait*

Will be a rare movie I try to go to on opening night. The trailer seems OK, I do love the Honk Honk part though.

Here is a link to an internet exclusive trailer that Edgar Wright edited himself and Robert Rodriguez scored!

if anyone sees this or knows of when the UK dvd is coming out (though it is released there 2/14) please post all about it. i so want to see this, but only limited here in April. :(

Assuming the movie is popular and successful, I doubt they will be releasing a DVD within two months of its theatrical release.

Glad to finally see a thread for this. I've been watching the trailers and teasers for this nonstop at work.

There's been one since October. :)

Frig. It's out on V Day only in the UK. :(

Darn. I never noticed it. :blush:
Really? I wish it was out here by then. It's not like I'll be doing anything important that day. :(

Saw this trailered during 'Smokin' Aces', looks friggin' sweet. What was the tag line..."From the guys who watched ever action movie ever made"?

Yup. Follwed by "and then created Shaun of the Dead".

This is my most anticipated film of the year. Trailer is frakkin awesome.

This is my fourth most anticipated film of the year. Maybe fifth. Either way, I'm still really looking forward to it!

Released today in the UK, Reviews have started rolling in:

CHUD - 10 out of 10
"The movie, in many ways, is Agatha Christie getting triumphantly buttfucked by Michael Bay. With jokes. And more than a dash of genius."

Channel 4 Film Review - 4.5 out of 5
"Who'd have thought PC comedy could be so much fun?"

BBC - 4 out of 5
"A movie you'll still want to see again, if only to get all the mini-jokes."

Time Out - 4 out of 5
"It’s not a perfect template – running motifs are glaringly flagged up and there are at least two too many climaxes – but for both gags and thrills, few current British filmmakers come close."

Empire Magazine - 4 out of 5
"Even without the inspired idea of Shaun Of The Dead it’s an easy match for laughs, and marks Nick Frost as a vital part of this team’s appeal. The boys (now in blue) have done it again."

Total Film - 3 out of 5
"The first half’s a blast, but as the comedy/action/horror/parody piles up, Hot Fuzz cools down. Needs more of a short, sharp schlock."

I caught this the other night -popcorn- , a top film.

Very funny. rotfl

Spent the whole film spotting the omages to other fims, it goes from Scream to Wicker Man to Bad Boys with Hard Boiled :johnwoo:and Point Break thrown in!! Obviouly a few Shaun Of The Dead references in there ;)

Go and see when it's out over there :cool:
