" March 1, 2006 - Working Title Films today announced the cast for Hot Fuzz, the second feature from star Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright, creators of the highly successful Shaun of the Dead. Joining Shaun of the Dead alums Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are Martin Freeman (BBC's The Office, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), Timothy Dalton (Licence to Kill), Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge) and Steve Coogan (Tristram Shandy).
The movie, which Working Title confirms will begin principal photography this month, follows the foibles of London's best police officer, Nicholas Angel (Pegg), as he's reassigned by his envying superiors to furthest suburbia. There, in the village of Sandford, the action-oriented officer partners with the laidback Constable Butterman (Frost), and sees little action. That is, until citizens of the quaint village begin turning up dead.
Produced by Nira Park (Shaun of the Dead), Tim Bevan (Fargo) and Eric Fellner (Love Actually), with associate producer Natascha Wharton (My Little Eye), Hot Fuzz will be released - next year in the US, we hope - by Working Title in association with Big Talk Productions.
"We're delighted to once again be joining creative forces with Working Title on this very exciting and very British film," says producer Nira Park. "Together, we're looking forward to giving the police action genre the same treatment we gave the living dead in 2004 "
Personally, I loved Shaun Of The Dead so I have high hopes for this.

The film is brought to us by the same guys that did 'Shaun of The Dead' and stars just about every bit of British talent there is. As well as Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Tim it also has Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Edward Woodward, Steve Coogan, Martin Freeman, Paul freeman and Billie Whitelaw and a host of others.
You can see the trailers here.

I'm looking forward to seeing this tomorrow night {[]
It is also great to see him back in an action film, and we do get to see him in action!
A welcome return to form. {[]
I dont think you will be disappointed
Frankly, my favourite thing about the film was seeing all of these old British greats getting literally RIGHT back in the action again.
By the way, I just found out that Nick Angel's girlfriend Janine was in fact played by Cate Blanchett, albeit completely disguised as a masked forensic scientist! Fantastic! I wondered why she wasn't credited!
I've seen the film twice, and I think Blanchett's cameo will be the excuse I use for seeing it a third time.
Thats a shame JD. It does seem to be a bit of a Marmite film.
As for the cameos, apparently Peter Jackson also pops up as the Santa who stabs Angel. I didn't see it myself so I will look out for him when I see it again. He was in the blogs , so there's a good chance he is.
This is defintely a film to see twice, even if its just to get all the cameos and film refs. There is even a little homage to LTK in there.
What is great is the universal praise Tim Dalton appears to be getting. Long overdue IMO. {[]
I'll see it again. Maybe I'll enjoy it more when I'm not expecting so much. And it is great to see Dalton getting great reviews. Hopefully this will lead to more high profile work for him. :007)
