Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to Shaun of the Dead a lot … the trailers make me laugh pretty hard. We’ve posted a couple things about it here …. pretty certain it will play in North America, but I haven’t seen a release date yet. Brit stuff generally crosses over fairly quickly …

Last I heard on Bond they had a guy in mind. No name given, but apparently he’s Australian. It’s looking more and more like Brosnan won’t be doing another one. And Tarantino is actively campaigning to make a Bond film and being told no.

I have heard of this film, though not seen it, i’m not sure it got a wide cinematic release in the UK. It is release on DVD on the 19th April, so may take a gander. A great British film just been released in the theatre here is Shaun of the Dead. Crap title, but it is great. It is described as a Rom-Com-Zom (romantic comedy zombie) and although is not a spoof, does pay homage to varies zombie films (Dawn of the dead being the obvious one). I mentioned this film in an earlier post, so sorry if im repeating myself. All magazines over here are raving about it, and knowing how well Brit humour goes down in Canada (you lot can understand Ironic much better than Americans) think you will like this. The film was written and stars Simon Pegg, who is part of the British “cool” comedy scene, with Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, the League of Gentlemen etc. He was in one episode of the Spielberg drama Band of Brothers as well. Anyway, im starting to sound like his Press officer now so I will depart. P.S. anymore news on the next James Bond?
