Trailer Tuesday: Hot Fuzz
Big cops. Small town. Moderate violence.
There are many fans out there of Shaun of the Dead, the zombie comedy with a delicious British flavour. Now from the same team (Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg) comes Hot Fuzz, which promises to poke fun at all those Sleepy English Town Murder Mysteries that you can't escape on BBC Prime or Hallmark.
Here's the plot synopsis, as well as the link to the official Hot Fuzz site:
Top London cop, Police Constable Nicholas Angel, finds himself reassigned to the sleepy West Country village of Sandford. With garden fetes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman, an oafish but well meaning young Constable. Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly accidents motivates Angel into action. Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that Sandford may not be as idyllic as it seems.
I actually hadn't even heard about this film until last week. Now I can't wait to see it. According to the IMDB, the film opens on 14 February in the UK, with a 13 April limited release in the US. No clue yet when the film will be released in SA, but I expect it will be before or around the US release.
