Hot Fuzz
I was a latecomer to the whole Shaun of the Dead phenomenon, but having loved it on DVD I'm looking forward to Simon Pegg's follow up vehicle, Hot Fuzz. There's a new internet only trailer up; you can find the official high quality version here, or in lower quality below. Like the internet trailer for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it's something of a meta-trailer, working as a piss-take of trailer in general. Hopefully that's where the similarity ends, given that the Hitchhiker's trailer was so much better than the film. By comparison, here's the more conventional full trailer: The whole conceit seems somewhat similar to Tony Martin's Bad Eggs, a film I enjoyed a great deal but which was generally poorly received. Pegg and his colleagues should have more luck: Shaun of the Dead worked so well because the zombie elements were done lovingly, rather than just for cheap laughs, and I think this approach should work well for a cop movie.
