Do YOU want to see Shaun kick some zombie ass again?! Then behold, #ShaunoftheDead will return to the big screen later this year, remastered in Dolby Vision and Atmos where available, to celebrate its 20th anniversary! More info on release dates to come! 2/4

This is not a drill! This is happening! After much musing over the years about there being potential for an anime adaptation of ‘Scott Pilgrim’, I’m thrilled to say one is IMMINENT, with the whole cast back together and… you are going to lose your minds.

The first time I went to Seoul in 2017 Bong Joon Ho hosted my Q&A and took me on a epic night out in various boozy vinyl record bars. Frankly it’s outrageous he didn’t get an Oscar for that. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Only Taika Waititi could make a coming of age film about a Nazi Youth in which he stars as a imaginary Hitler and it somehow be the feel good comedy of the year that every kid should see. Speaking of which, ‘JoJo Rabbit’ also features the best ‘fuck’ in a PG 13 in recent memory.

Not quite true! We wrote the scene and thought it would be funny to have a famous actress in the part but to never take off the mask. We had heard Cate Blanchett liked 'Shaun Of The Dead' so we asked her. She said yes, shot for a day and gave her fee to charity. An Aussie legend.

Cate Blanchett’s cameo in Hot Fuzz (2007) came about as she loved Shaun Of The Dead (2004) and asked Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg if she could be in their next picture. Fearing her level of fame may overshadow the film (and thinking it would be funny), they hid her behind a mask.
