Plot details have finally been released on the upcoming Hot Fuzz starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and directed by Edgar Wright, whom all came into the spotlight because of Shaun of the Dead. I, like most, have desperately been awaiting just a tiny bit of inform
ation about the upcoming movie, and finally there is some information available, empire online recently reported that: "Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg made their names on the big screen with Shaun of the Dead, and details are finally emerging of their long-awaited follow-up Hot Fuzz, the British action movie we've been nagging them about for ages. Here's what we can expect...
"Police constable Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is good at his job; so good in fact, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, his superiors at the Met have decided to sweep him under the carpet. So it is that London's top cop finds himself in the sleepy West Country village of Sandford.
"With garden fetes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman (Frost), an oafish but well meaning young Constable, who dreams of being Mel Gibson. Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly accidents motivates Angel into action. Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that Sandford may not be as idyllic as it seems."
In addition to Frost and Pegg, the cast will also include (deep breath) Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Steve Coogan, Martin Freeman, Bill Bailey, Olivia Colman, Anne Reid, Rafe Spall, David Bradley, Stewart Wilson, Paul Freeman and Edward Woodward. Wright and Pegg wrote the script, and Wright is once again directing with Nira Park producing.
Shooting is due to start later this month, and we'll keep you up to date as we hear more."

I can't wait for this, I loved Shaun of the Dead, and from the cast and the plot details it sounds like it is going to be good. I am especially excited that Martin Freeman is going to be in it, because its then combining two of my favorite actors, Pegg and Freeman.
