Was there something new there, Hobbsy? I can't see anything.

In the meantime, the film has been shown in the Berlinale markets and apparently, they're wondering if a US remake would be better than a US release of the existing UK film.

Obviously, it's great that they think the concept is that good and there'll be a certain amount of added prestige in this but I hope Joe can stay attached at least for the rewrites. I'd feel happier if he just had a runaway success everywhere with his UK version. He must feel weird about this.

Pfft, did they have trouble understanding the accents? (ah, just read it; yes.)

I'm sure I remember him saying somewhere that he tried to make the language somewhere between authentic and broadly understandable but I know some Americans that struggled with a New Zealand film because of 'the accents'. It's odd really because there are so many accents all across the States. I'm sure it's all in the mind

Real reason for dropping in here is to say that the SXSW schedule has been sorted now.

Saturday March 12 @ 11:59PM
Venue
Alamo Drafthouse Ritz 1
320 East 6th St

Additional Screenings
Sunday March 13 @ 11:59PM,
Wednesday March 16 @ 9:00PM

I would sell my soul to be there... :roll:

Looks great! And there's already a very respectable following on Twitter and Facebook.

Can't wait to see the trailer!

following, liked and subscribed. Lovely. Hope this is better than Paul, what a pile of old dog plops that was.

Ha! I was just coming to link these pics. Nick Frost's character looks brilliant. Can't wait to see him in a film without Simon Pegg.
