in the commentary to SotD simon pegg metions From dusk till shaun. do you think that his character could transfer from zombies to vamps sucessfully or do you think shaun might go the way of van helsing.

i honestly think shaun could become an icon such as ash from the evil dead movies. it could bring british cinema back into the horror genre with style.

tell us what you think.

hokum.

That would rock. I would love to see that, and I have no doubt that Simon, Edgar and the crew could pull it off.

Oooh, then we could have other genres, too:

Shaun With the Wind
Shaun in 60 Seconds
The Shaun Gunmen
The Shaun Ranger

Well, okay not really.

Oh, and how could I forget:

Night of the Living Ed!

In which zombie Ed escapes from the shed and wanders about town searching for a pint - of blood!

The Shaun Identity
The Shaun Supremacy

In which Shaun has been living a double-life as an international assassin, while all the time slobbing around the house with Liz. Who he dumps, for Franke Potente.

I think the guys'll do a really good job with a sequel - they'd be very concious of not wanting to make a crappy second film.

i think whatever they do, they`ll do a grand job! plus i think its about time a really good vampire film was made.

I saw From Dusk Till Dawn for the first time last night (I know, I'm slow) and was surprised at how some of the biting scenes were similar to the Shaun ones ie the biting of arms and having to shoot best friend in head (like Shaun had to shoot his mum). There was even a similar line somethimg like "He change and kill all of us".. strange, I thought this film was suppose to be too rubbish to reference!

[FONT=Impact][SIZE=7][COLOR=red]I like it
a star is shaun
children of the shaun
shaunblower
the shaunmower man
or for a spaced refrence daisy of the dead
keep um coming!

Moved here because it's about that top chap Shaun, not that top chap Tim

I really see no need for a Shaun sequel. It served its purpose really. Its purpose being a kick ass, hell of a funny, gory, awesome zombie movie with romance on the side. The secondary purpose being to show the rest of the world that Britain can make a bloody good film.

Just wait till Hot Fuzz....

You mean you wouldn't care to see a kick ass, hell of a funny, gory, awesome vampire movie with romance on the side?

^^^ I'm with Skip...done, dusted better to leave it there. Rumours are it'll be an action film next time out??? Who knows who cares whatever it is it'll be a slice of.......

fried gold.

I mean really, the only people left are Shaun, Liz and Di. Ed as a zombie for the whole film would be ok but you need Frost as a human for most of the film, hes a comedy legend.

but walking dead ed would be like clyde in any which way but loose and its sequel any which way you can.

I can imagine that being a perfect sequel actually. From Dusk Till Shaun. Hopefully they'd find a way to bring Ed back to normality. I can imagine Shaun and the gang backing away from the closing-in vampires while Ed is too busy watching the only surviving stripper.

Children of the Shaun
Shaun On The Fourth of July
Shaun Curtain
Natural Shaun Killers
The Camomile Shaun
Shaun Circuit

Dusk Til Dawn is a great film, and definately not too rubbish to reference! Rober Rodriguez directing, Harvey Kietel, Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney (an absolutely fantastic actor) starring, plus a cameo from the bandit leader from Dawn of the Dead, SALMA HAYEK PERFORMING AN EROTIC DANCE... All amazing plus points. And then... VAMPIRES! It's a quality movie.

....and not one mention of salma hayek performing an erotic dance!

Hehe, edited.

I can't believe I forgot about that! I am shocked, and feel my masculinity threatened. Hang on.

*BEER, FOOTBALL, TITS*

And I'm back on track. Hoo-hah.

(For the record, I don't drink, I hate football, but I like breasts. I even have a set. Oh, there goes my masculinity again.)

I think that from dusk til shaun wud be aGREAT idea, not as a sequel but as a totally different film. it could work as a sequel tho coz everythin cud be back 2 normal, i.e ed as a human agen coz sequels dont have to make sense ( like in the evil dead series, ash new all about the deadites and the necronomicon in the second film but he still went back and stuff)

The second film will apparently be called Hot Fuzz and will be about the old bill. I think they're starting pre production next year....hope the title doesn't change as I love it already.

Good shaun-ing vietnam
sorry, didnt mean it.

i never saw shaun as having a chance at a sequel, tho im sure it could happen. i think its better to have the pegg + co trying new things. lest he be forever typecast as a no-good london bum 20 something.

ok was gonna start a new topic on this but saw this old thread so thought I would revive it.

I have read in Heat magazine (issue 299) in their review of whats on telly (coz SotD is out now on Sky Box Office) and they said that there are rumours of a sequel?!

Hearing this i came straight here to see if it was on the news but nothing! So how did Heat hear abt this rumour before us the loyal fans?!

I would scan the page in but me scanners broken!

No sequel, as in another SotD type film, but Simon and Edgar are making another film about a British Police man or something on the lines of that, with a working title of "Hot Fuzz".

From what littles been said of "Hot Fuzz" it sounds like thier going for a British Die Hard. (Cue Friends References.)

As for a Shaun 2. Even though the line,

"I Haven't had sugar in my tea since 1982",

was just a throw away gag it could be used as a set up for prequel. Shaun Zero.

Or sumfin!

Maybe they should make the sequel that Ed escapes and goes on the rampage, they could call it Dawn of the Shed.

ooooooooh see i like that... but i think it should be more a "Day of the ed" where eds been fully trained bub style... can hold guns, play zylophones that kinda thing ... and you know... breaks training... goes and bites people

The Shauning? I didn't see it on the list, but if you ignore the events of shauun of the dead and reuse the characters.... That actually seems much better suited to an episode of Spaced... but then you couldn't use the title, noooooo paradox

Hey, Di's dead, aint she?

Noooo. I assumed she'd died as well, but if you watch the Plot Holes bit on the DVD, it explains that she hid up a tree until morning and survived.

It's because of Di that Ed died anyway! Such foolishness.

Honestly, why didn't the lot just run upstairs when the zombies assaulted them? Oh well.

yeah i said that! can zombies (sorry for using the z word!) actually go upstairs. coz they seem to drag their feet so maybe not?!

They climbed a ladder in Dawn of the Dead...

And they climbed out of a ditch in Danger! 50,000 Zombies!

I like that title, but it doesn't have to be a sequel to SotD necessarily!
I mean, it could be a whole new film with Shaun and Ed being gangsters. Totally other characters but keeping the name!

Dont forget she had a nibble on Davids remaining leg!!

I really like the title, I think Shaun is an amazing film character (best of the year- and IGN agrees!) but I don't think a sequel is right...

I think a sequal would be great but I dont think there could be a better storyline than SotD

Simon said that Marvel and such have been contacting them, and he is considering a sequal of sorts in comic format.

A comic is nice, but don't expect a movie sequel. I will gladly buy a copy of this comic!

Yay, Dusk til Dawns on tonight

well...really all they need to do...is make a complettely new movie....vamp dusting kick arse kinda flick...and just leave simons name as shaun!
just a different character.....
would soooooooo love seeing Jess do some Buffy movies!!!!!!
and Pete HAS to be the head vampire!!!
luvs nix

I definitely think we need more Pegg/Frost combo work on a movie. They are a great team... definitely hilarious. I think it would be too hard to do a direct sequal to SOTD... i mean it wraps up too well already. But they could easily reuse the shaun and ed character's in a new situation. From Dusk Till Shaun sounds fun. What about Ed Alive ? I know they're making Hot Fuzz... but it WOULD be nice for another horror/comedy. i never thought that someone could combine romance, comedy, and horror ALL legitimately into a movie without it being campy, until wright and pegg did it. I'd like to see more.

I think zombies are funnier than vamps, cos you could'nt say they were drunk and they would'nt look so unaware!
I feel Zombies are funnier as you just throw things at them or hit them but they keep walking slowly.

Oh if they make a sequel I hope they put Mike Watt in it!He's like Mr.T, but white and hairy!

But vampires are sexier.

not necessarily - the zombies were fast in 28 days later

Ahhhhhhh, but they weren't actually zombies.

They were infected with RAGE. But Resident Evil Apocalypse was inaccurate because the zombies in the begging were RUNNING!

Don't forget the running zomies in the Dawn Of The Dead remake

oh weren't they? but i seem to remember simon saying somewhere that he didn't know to make the zombies slow or fast, like in 28 days later, for shaun. thats why i thought they were zombies. plus i only saw it for the first time the other week

I just like zombies, they're funnier than vamps! Zombies have comedy loads more potential
