Hot Fuzz is the new film from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. The synopsis goes as follows:
Top London cop, Police Constable Nicholas Angel, finds himself reassigned to 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, an oafish but well meaning young Constable. 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.
It comes across as a mix between Bad Boys and Heartbeat with a dash of Midsommer Murders and some jokes. The tagline says it all: Big Cops. Small Town. Moderate Violence.
Pegg is popping up in a lot of stuff at the moment, including Mission: Impossible 3, and has plenty of promising projects coming up, but Shaun of the Dead probably stands as his most notable work to date and teaming up with co-writer and director Edgar Wright will hopefully prove a recipe for further success.
You can find out more about Hot Fuzz on the official site or the Working Title mini-site, and view the trailer and teasers here.
Hot Fuzz is scheduled for release in the UK on 16th February.
