i can't find any reference to hot fuzz on this board. does anyone know more about this film?

Edgar mentions this in the recent Q&A session he did for the board.


You can read the Q&A here.

Hey if edgar reads this i have work expireance next year i want to work on the set coz i want to be a film director

Yeah and next year I'm planning to be rich so if you have any spare millions lying about you can send them to me.


That's if you read this.

So who of us lot who were supposedly 'used' for being zombies in Shaun of the dead would fight like cat and dog to get to the front of the queue for auditions for extras for free again??




ME!

Hmm, provided no family memebers die again around the filming time, I'd be up for it.

Oh dear

lol i only no it's a Cop film

I was under the impression it was about Hot Cleaners.


Ah well.

Being the goon that I am I never even realised about SOTD until months after they finished filming, just before it came out :S But this time around I would be an extra for sure!!!! You don't need some kind of faffy acting lisence or something do you?

Nop. I can not act for toffee and I did it! Although there will be auditions cause they have to make sure you take it seriously and aren't going to just crack up or mess around in front of the camera. And also depending on where it is filmed that will be key. I know that all my friends who were suppose to do it who didn't live in London had trouble making it for 7.30 in the morning!! but it could be up north this time seeing as that seems to be the setting they want.

Up north up north... thats no good for us in the west!

that's very true

When you say "up North" how far ish, I mean are we talking Bagpipes?

i would love to be an extra for their new film it would look cool on my cv so where do u think he willl post it ?

Doesn't help me much either

Actually it's quite cheap to make films in Australia and there's a really good market for it here now. So Simon & Edgar should come and make a film here!

Yeah, well, I can dream can't I?

Cheers

Well, I'm inScotland now - but moving to OZ in a few months! So either location to film would be good - especialy if they are looking for runners????? My luck - they'll make a rash desision to film in Scotland the day I leave for OZ!

Filming up north? That sounds good for me. Can't wait. I read somewhere that its pencilled for 2006, thats not too long, is it?

This film sounds really funny and ooh I do hope Simon will be sporting a police uniform yum! Bxxx

Seconded!

Just out of interest (as I'm moving there soon) - where is the best area for Fim production at the moment - between Mebourne or Brisbane? Do you know?

I dream of being in a Wright/Pegg production just so i can meet them and have a rite good laugh! But does anyone know if they would be interested in behind the camera help?

Considering we know nothing about the film. Chances are. we won't know about that.




Tho I can't see why they would need help like that.

you never know they might need extras I hope

Going back to my previous request for Simon in a police uniform, I was pleased when I watched me new Big Train dvd and saw one of the scetches had my boy in a police uniform! Oh now he looked very yummy there even on a rollercoaster ooh lovely! So I think it has to be in uniform in the new film too please!! Bxxx

I'm not too good with sublty really, sometimes you've got to really spell things out for me to spot them but If I didn't know better (and I don't) I'd say, purely as a hunch that you may have a teeny tiny soft spot for Mr Pegg. I have no evidence to substantiate this claims but I thought I might point this out for anyone else who opperates at the same mental pace as myslef.

OMG!!!! I really cant believe you noticed this! I usually hide my crush so well too....oh well! Lol Bxxx

Well... if the works midland ish based... then i might be able to make it *WHOOP!*... Doubt that though. Would be ace to see them do it in yorkshire and Heartbeat style though!

from what i gather its about pubic lice.

Hot Fuzz is the codename for Nick's first "hardcore" outing.

I mean, the heatstroke scene in Danger! 50,000 Volts! got me thinking, at least.




DO NOT SHATTER MY DREAMS.

i would willingly travel over to england(im in ireland) to do extra work for any future film/project that simon pegg et al would do!

yeah, here's hoping that they come to this lovely forum again to find willing extras!

Given their Westcountry heritage, I hope Pegg and Wright film in and around Somerset. And that's got nothing to do with me living there! Maybe they could call it Hot Fuzz: Avalon Takedown, or something...

Hell yes! Policemen with West Country accents - what's funnier? Absolutely nuffin' I tells yer.

I'm sure I've asked this before but whereabouts do you live, KITH?

Well, when I'm not at university in London, I live in West Pennard, a tiny little village in between Glastonbury and Pilton - just a few miles from a certain popular music festival - sadly, I don't get free tickets.

I just thought Somerset's prime territory being it where Edgar shot A Fistful of Fingers (and went to school).

Blimey, small world. I've not been to West Pennard itself, but that's very close to where I (well, I suppose my parents now that I'm a big girl and have moved to the Big City) live, about 7 miles out of Wells on the way to Cheddar.

ooh, small world indeed - my mate russ was a scholar at wells cathedral school back when he was but a boy.

does anyone think theyre gonna have any extras for this film ?

clip a clop a clip a clop - Those aren't coconut shells, that's my horse.

sux to be an american...

I hope that they have a plot about undercover cops and police moles, just like every blooming Hong Kong crime flick. It seems that every bad guy is actually a cop who wants to get out the business as they are starting to doubt themselves, and every cop is actually a triad member. That kind of plot, transferred to the British countryside would be great, and I'm sure would allow for many a comic moment...

BASICALLY do any of you guys know the killers? indieish band from this year? album released juneish? hit singles - mr brightside and somebody told me? ANYWAY their album is called 'hot fuss' and us lot over at the killers forum think that hot fuzz is a clear reference to hot fuss. anyway what do you guys think?

Well. Pretty safe to say it's not a referance.


Fuzz- as in nickname for police.

yeah yeah i know but still - hot in front? who refers to the police as 'hot'? plus apparently mr pegg has said that he likes the killers, but then again maybe i'm wrong.

Again I think they mentioned the possible name of the film beforethe Killers had released that.


Hot Fuzz as in corrupt. possibly.

ah k. well it was just a theory and all.

i sure hope this film is set in the 70's

ayyyyyyyyyyy

to anyone who was an extra in SOTD... what kind of auditions were they? someone said about not cracking up... do they just poke you with sticks and see hoe you react?

I'm sure that at the end of the film they'll fit in what happens in all bond films and other police films when loads of uniformed extras run in to storm a building, here's hoping at least. I wouldn't mind doing that, cough cough!!!!

man, I gots me $2000 sitting around that I don't for anything, I'd fly my ass over seas to work in an Edgar Wright Film, in fact, if I can, I will. I have so many questions for him!!
