Hot Fuzz video blog #12
The last Hot Fuzz video blog finally went up. If you missed them, you can watch them all in a row now and your head will spin! They're pretty silly, but entertaining if you know/like/stalk those guys. Edgar Wright and Nick Frost will be at Comic-Con International (San Diego) premiering some actual Hot Fuzz footage next Sunday, apparently.

(Edgar Wright is going to turn Scott Pilgrim into a movie if I have anything to say about it)

I just noticed they wrote a new synopsis of Hot Fuzz, so I'll post it here for posterity.

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'm going to make it a point to ask him about the SP movie when I see him at SDCC. Those movie people never called me back when we were doing that newsarama interview.

I'm hoping they'll make SOME kind of announcement of SOMETHING there. I would like that very much.

If they do, I'll email you or ransack JLJ's computer at the oni press booth to get an email to you from the con floor.

Damn, I feel so behind the times, I knew of the project but not the website. Dammit!

In other news, thanks for letting me know about this :)

But the question is, will *YOU* be going to SDCC? If we can make it to the Edgar Wright thingy, we'll make a point of asking about it. :D

Heh, will do. "Hey, uh, Mr. Wright... Mal asked us to ask you if he's there. Oh, and what's going on with the Scott Pilgrim movie?" XD

Aimo and I can be the squealing fangirls in the front row. XD

Without the... background? what, you mean the yellow? i'm confused... can't you photoshop that yourself?

Ya, without the yellow.
There's some opacity around the edges where the edges fade into the yellow. That makes it a bit difficult to cut out the figure without the edges looking strange.

Also I don't have photoshop at the moment, but I do have some image tools a step above paint.

Bleh, I guess your right, I should stop being lazy about it.

Hmm, animated by Americans or by Japanese or by Americans pretending to be Japanese?

I guess theoretically Canadians could do it and it could still look like the book did, but I wouldn't count on it.

As long as it doesn't look like Home Movies or Bromwell High.
...or rather, anything that looks like it was made by Nelvana.

Nelvana, you douche bag, is a canadian animation company that makes silly, if-not totally craptastic productions.

and now you know.
