If you're a fan of the films of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) -- and who isn't, really? -- then you've probably heard of the British TV show they collaborated on from 1999-2001, called Spaced, starring Pegg as a comic book artist and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) as his roommate-of-necessity. If you've seen it at all, it's likely on a region-free DVD player, a VHS tape, YouTube or (gasp!) a bootleg DVD -- but no longer. Spaced will come out on a Region 1 DVD on July 22!
This is great news for fans of the show who've been experiencing nothing but sadness lately -- particularly the announcement that there would be a Fox-made remake done for the U.S., with no involvement from the original show's creators aside from their names on all of the press releases. Well, the news gets even better -- Wright, Pegg and Hynes will be doing a four-city U.S. tour to support the release! Granted, two of those cities are in Southern California, and the Midwest can apparently kiss Spaced's ass, but here's the schedule of events:
NEW YORK
Monday, July 21, 7:00 PM - A special 3-episode screening event of Spaced, immediately followed by a Q&A with Simon, Jessica and Edgar at the Village East Cinemas.
