Spaced finally coming to DVD in the US
MTV's Movies blog reports that the English comedy
Spaced, created by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (a/k/a the people behind
Shaun of the Dead and
Hot Fuzz)
is finally coming to DVD on July 23 of this year. People have been begging for this for
years.
Unfortunately, though, Fox is still going ahead with a McG-produced Americanized version of
Spaced this summer, and Pegg
isn't too thrilled about it. From the sounds of things, Pegg and Wright weren't consulted on the US version, which certainly doesn't bode well for the show (the name "McG" doesn't exactly bode well, either). Although, we'll admit it - we might have said something similar about the US version of
The Office when it first aired, and that show has had an excellent run (until they started messing with
those hourlongs.) So who knows.
