Lego 'Shaun of the Dead' anyone?

Edgar Wright 'completes Ant-Man script'

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's follow-up to Shaun Of The Dead gives the action buddy genre a very British make-over. Pegg is the keen-as-mustard cop reassigned to a sleepy village where all is not as rosy as the locals make out. It co-stars Nick Frost and gets funnier every time you watch it.

Interview: Edgar Wright, film director

Fans of Edgar Wright like to quote his work back at him.

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's zombie romcom, a tribute to George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead, is amusing, smart and, towards the end, genuinely tense. Shaun (Pegg), a Londoner in a dull job and a fractious relationship, finds his humdrum routine disrupted when almost everyone else in the country turns into a zombie. There's a special geeky pleasure in spotting all the film buff in-jokes.

The 'Lizzie & Sarah' iPlayer Challenge

We at The Velvet Onion love an underdog, and Lizzie & Sarah is no exception.

US Spaced: the wait (and the hope) is over

The US version of Channel 4 sitcom Spaced has become the stuff of TV legend. There was much excitement when Fox announced it was adapting the sitcom three years ago, to be helmed by none other than the director of Charlie's Angels director, McG. But fans feared the worst when it turned out that none of three people behind the original version - Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) - were involved in the remake. It was nothing to the reaction of Wright and co when they finally saw the finished version ("McSpaced" as Wright called it). Disappointed doesn't quite do it justice. "I am worried about the large amount of you who stabbed out their eyes or washed them with bleach after watching the US pilot. My sympathies," said Wright on Twitter today. For everyone else who hasn't seen it, the Stateside version has now made it to the web, so fans can finally see it for themselves. Pining for the original? Ah, that's better.
