Simon Pegg Bikes, and Talks Hot Fuzz
Filed under: Action, Comedy, Independent, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Cinematical Indie
There's something very appealing about Simon Pegg (he of Shaun of the Dead fame). Despite ample evidence that he's smarter,
funnier, and more creative than most of us (or than me, at least), he nevertheless comes across as a guy who's so
totally normal that you almost forget he's famous and brilliant and whatnot. The Hot Fuzz video diary (he says it's the first, which is great news - more Simon Pegg is never a bad thing) up at Working Title does nothing to change one's impression of Pegg, though now he's a normal guy who just happens to be an action hero. Over the past six months or so, he's learned judo, as well as cop skills and, oddly, how to ride a bike really fast and then skid to a halt in a glamorous manner. Assuming he's done all this for the film (which starts shooting in a week) and not as part of a strange new hobby, Hot Fuzz is going to be way more physical than the "Some cops in a village. It'll be funny." summary ever suggested.

Yes! I cannot wait to see "Hot Fuzz." Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are brilliant. Now if only we could get "Spaced" on DVD in this country, I'd really be happy.

Forget everything that is coming out between now and next year, this is my personal most-anticipated film of the forseeable future.
