Hot Ticket

Exciting film news from the ICA who will be screening a preview of Shaun of the Dead follow up, Hot Fuzz next month:

The special preview will be followed by a Q&A with director Edgar Wright and special guests, to be confirmed. Also watch out for Hot Fuzztival, a massive fortnight of non-stop cops and hardcore action. These are some of the films that inspired director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, making them essential viewing if you want to experience the full force of the Fuzz. There’s also a tribute to action maestro Tony Scott, a special double-bill of Point Break and Bad Boys 2 (a viewing experience straight from Hot Fuzz itself).

No tickets for sale online yet and despite the website saying they were available from the box office, we were told to call back on Wednesday afternoon. The screening is on Saturday 10th February.

Wright has just moved up another notch with the news that he's one of a handful of directors chosen to create fake trailers to run between the two movies that form the new Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez double bill Grindhouse.
