some of you may know I had some hosting problems which are now sorted out - largely thanks to

and also to everyone else for their kind words and support, it means a lot!
Now onto the more important business - 'Hot Fuzz' has been nominated in
several categories for the Empire Awards 2008! Please go
here to vote.
13 / 02 / 08 You requested it, you got it... Those lovely people
at Peggster.net have kindly taken us on board at their forum so as not to separate the fans
and make fans of both have to sign up to two message boards.
Come and join the party!

SpacedInvasion.com for a whole tonne of video blogs featuring the lovely Simon, Jess and Edgar.
And why not give
this interview from The A.V. Club a read?
26 / 08 / 08 I was very dismayed to see the
Times article the other week, with a picture of me looking
like a love-lorn twat and "It was very sad. I loved him." written beneath it. I ACTUALLY said
I loved Simon AND Edgar AND Nick, or course I did, we were buddies, they went their way I
accepted that and was proud. Ed Potton obviously preferred to focus on his invention of the
story rather than my truth. What a prick. No way were my 'eyes welling up with tears' I never
cry, ever, not since my tear ducts were cauterized in a freak accident with a precision laser.
At least that's what Ed Potton said so it must be true. 14 / 10 / 08 Ed Potton and his editor Dominic Maxwell
have apologized for the cover - Ed said he wasn't there when it was put together,
Dominic said it was misleading. 17 / 10 / 08 Check out the
totally knockin' poster for it too!
'Shaun of the Dead' makes its terrestrial premiere tonight on ITV1 at 10:05pm.
I don't care how many times you've seen it now - tune in again! You know you want to.
SITE ACTIVE AGAIN
New forum launched over at Peggster.net!
Welcome to the new site! I thought I'd set up something a bit more presentable as a sort of
thank you to everyone who supported the site when I was having difficulties.
Simon and Jess' statements regarding 'McSpaced' can be found at
Peggster.net and JessicaHynes.co.uk. And to quote Jess from the latter,
"So don't watch it, don't think about it - buy our D.V.D coming out in America in the summer and SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!!"
Too right.
'Hot Fuzz' won Best Comedy at last night's Empire Awards! Congratulations to Edgar, Simon and Nick.
Check out a video interview with the guys here.
You can catch the awards tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.
Collider.com have reviewed the pilot script for McSpaced.
More news on the McSpaced fiasco sparked by a, quite frankly ridiculous, comment made by someone claiming to be
Robert Green from Granada USA - see
Edgar's blog. Also see Peggster.net
for Simon's response to the comment.
Oh, and I forgot to mention them before, but you can
show your support with
this Anti-McSpaced button from Zazzle. They deliver to the UK, so get buyin'! [No longer needed!]
Well, if you haven't heard the news by now, McSpaced has failed! We all knew it was only a matter of time, right?
After seeing the pilot, the bigwigs at Fox decided not to commission it.
News of 'Spaced: Invasion USA' at the LA Film Festival has hit our screens! If you're in and around the
area on the 24th June, go check it out - sounds like it's going to be awesome. Two episodes of 'Spaced'
will be screened with guests Edgar and Matt Stone.
Nice interview taking a look at the large amount of projects Edgar is currently working on
and what's going on with each of them, at
PiQ.
The full press release of 'Spaced: Invasion USA' is upon us! Once again I direct you to Edgar's blog
hyar. Also, you'll be able to follow their progress on the tour via
SpacedInvasion.com.
Good interview up with ComingSoon.net
about the 'Spaced' Invasion and the DVD release. Few nice questions about 'Ant-Man' at the bottom too.
Check out this month's Empire mag (#231) for a large feature on 'Spaced'. It contains a double page
intro photo, four pages of interviews with cast and Edgar, and a full page review of the R1 DVD. In
stores now!
Some more info about 'Ant-Man' and 'Scott Pilgrim' in this
WizardUniverse.com interview.

A message from Jessica:
Yours pissed offly,
Jessica Hynes
And a (late) update to that last post - since I've now got the internet back again:
Apology accepted.
Jessica
Edgar returns to the New Beverly Cinema at the end of the month for a Halloween special double

Ricky' (what else?) on the 31st and the 1st. More details on the
New Bev site, and to be announced on Edgar's MySpace
page.
