I am never going to see any of this stuff! Or anything similar! Everything I would know from Pegg would be Shaun and the LotD-Cameo if the autorithies would be in charge!

Band of brothers is currently showing bbc drama

Big Nothing UK Release Date = 24 November 2006 The Pathe site also confirms this date.

Saw the film stills at the Pathe site t'other evening - the premise sounds pretty cool too.

Hhhmmmm.
I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Pegg playing "a slightly unbalanced con-artist"!
Should be good.

Feel the love.

This could be an interesting one, look forward to seeing it.

A film review

Sounds pretty promising. I shall most certainly be marking this one down on the calendar to go and see when it comes out. Thanks for the link!

Sounds like one to watch.

Hhhmmm. Very interesting. Look forward to seeing it.
I hope it's released in Australia before Hot Fuzz, so I can get a dose of Pegg action
on the big screen before next March!

Feel the love.

there is a short bit on channel four teletext page 311 about high salaries, the volver premiere and 2 films with david schwimmer today!

Spotted in Heat's Spotted section this week that Simon and David were apparently seen sauntering through Soho Square together.

Aaawwww! Best-est buddies!

Click on Coming Soon.

That looks fantastic!

Heehee, that really looks rather good, if y'all don't mind me sayin'.


And don't you just love the musical accompaniment that goes with the site navgation?

Hmmm, couldn't find a 'Coming Soon' button....David Schwimmer?

I've got a bad feeling about this.

ohh that looks really good weird to hear smon with a american accent though

Not quite sure about this one. Simon's accent's great.. really made me giggle when he goes "Uh gusss... gus dickinson"

I think there is a very good chance that this one will be very good. However I would need to get used to Simon's accent. I do think it's good (way better than Orlando Bloom's from the clips of Elizabethtown I saw) but I've only heard his british accent so it just sounds weird to me.

I can't find it either. There isn't one wherever I look. Me can't see the trailer.



He's got a good american accent in Band Of Brothers if you want to prepare yourself. He only has a couple of lines but if I didn't know better I'd swear he was a real yankee.

Click the Coming Soon tag at the top and then BIG Nothing on the menu to the left when it comes up. I think you need the latest version of Flash to see it.

It looks pretty good, but I'm not convinced by Simon's accent. Anyone over that side of the pond care to assess?

I think we agree it'll take a while to get used to.

Can't wait though.

I couldn't see it either - I had a look on my friend's computer at it's on a navigation bar right at the top that didn't show up on mine... there's something odd about that website.

But if you go here, you can see a slightly poorer quality version http://www.natascha-mcelhone.net/, which is what I had to do.

"Lieutenant Winters... With Captain Sobel's compliments, sir."

I dunno, you can't really tell from a seven word sentence.

I'm also very sorry I could remember that off the top of my head.

I can see it (Firefox guys, come on!) and it looks odd indeed.

It'll be swell no doubt, just retuning my brain to that new accent hurts a bit.

Well see fo' sho' on December 6th though.

The trailer makes it look good at any rate. Accents always bug me, but it's better than some so it'll hopefully be easy enough to adjust to.

I think Simon got the accent mostly right. You can tell he struggles with a few words and phrases like "put," "monitor," "plan," "no turning back." It'll definitely play better with people who haven't heard him speak in his natural accent. They should have allowed him an East Coast dialect so he could soften his Rs a little. The American accents don't lend themselves well to the sort of musical ups and downs of a British accent; they're much flatter. Isn't it strange how people tend to change their pitch when speaking in a different accent?

Big Nothing is also being shown in Cardiff on 18th November for a special screening. This is on the last night of the Cardiff Film Festival. Details here.

Very true - when I do an American accent, I tend to make the pitch of my voice higher as, for some reason, that makes it much easier to flatten the melody of the accent.

Me like!
Red pill; blue pill. hehehee!

Yeah, not only does Simon have the Yankee accent, but his voice is deeper.
Almost as deep as when Tim's imitating Dwayne's voice in Spaced. Love it.

Whenever I do an American accent, I always make it sound kind of nasal. Dunno
why.

Well, I hope we don't have to wait too long for this movie in Australia. It'd be good
to have some of Mr Pegg's fine work to watch on the big screen before Hot Fuzz
finally gets here in March.

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

Where'd you get the info from for the date?

Um, someone posted it in one of the Hot Fuzz threads a while back. They actually
got it from some other site that had the release dates for US, UK & Australia. It'll
be released in Feb in US & UK, & mid-March in Australia. Hope that helps.

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

The R's are where the trouble usually happens; sometimes Brits tend to hit them too hard. (Tim Roth did it a couple of times in Reservoir Dogs, but he got better.) And yeah, it's much harder to mask when it's a neutral, flat dialect; it seems as though Eastern and Southern accents are easier for foreigners because they have more to hang their vowels off of. (And sometimes their R's are gentler, as well. Or nonexistent. Heh.)

I remember reading March 9 for the US release. Am I wrong?

Nope. That's the sucker.

Ahh, thank you!

Looks good. Granted, Simon's accent is a little patchy here and there (that might be made more obvious next to the native David) but it's not too shabby.

My dad won a free Odeon ticket at the workies on Saturday, which is valid from the 1st December onwards, so I'll have a good use for it.


Wife Of Rolex

I've only seen the release date for the UK, anyone know where/when it will be released, more specifically round our neck of the woods Down Under?

The trailer looks good though. Liking the moustache.

*sigh* We're always last, hey?

I haven't been able to find a release date yet, but I'm hoping it'll be close to the UK
date. Otherwise, I may go a little mad from the anticipation of seeing Mr Pegg on
the silver screen again.

After all, I did only go to see MI3 because he was in it! I couldn't give a crap about
Tom Cruise these days. He just seems to be disappearing up his own bum!

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

Indeed. And it 'twill be my first time seeing him on big screen. Let's make it a special viewing.

Let's make a movie that is really good and postpone its release for US and UK till the next year!

Really??
Cool. You'll love it, then.



Yes; starring Simon Pegg!!

Feel the love.
dolfyn.

I noticed that the titles of Film 2006 has a couple of shots from Big Nothing last night.


Wife Of Rolex

Now I've seen the trailer I'm really looking forward to this. The trailer is very promising.

I couldn't see the link anywhere else in this thread, so just in case you haven't checked it out yet....

Feel the love.

That is excellent.

The reviews I've read on this havent been very good.
