Bill Nighy

Is anyone sure that Hot Fuzz will star Bill Nighy? AllStarZ 00:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't for the life of me remember the source, but I think there's a press release floating around with his name on it. HornetMike 10:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's in the trailer as the Police chief who reassigns Angel. Wiki-newbie 09:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trailers

Should there be a description of what happens in the new trailers? e.g. mention the Shaun of the Dead refenences contained in them. George C 14:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what relevance they have. Unless Hot Fuzz's sole jokes are based on references to SOTD then it's just little bits of trivia. Trivia's for IMDb, not here. Cheers, HornetMike 23:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bits of trivia shouldn't really be included if we can at all help it, as trivia isn't really important. (see Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles) If, after the movie is released there are more SOTD references, we could mention that fact but without listing the whole lot of them. -- jeffthejiff 12:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, but I do think that the fact that there are trailers available should be made more obvious, rather than just a link under the External Links section. George C 16:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having just seen a preview screening of the film, there are definitely references to SotD throughout. There is even a brief close-up shot of the DVD of the film in a supermarket bargin bin. Nick Cooper 00:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Starring"

I've removed Steve Coogan, Bill Night & Martin Freeman from the infobox, as they're appearances are little more than cameos. Billie Whitelaw & Edward Woodward's parts are certainly more substantial. Nick Cooper 13:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opening date

Whilst some cinemas may start showing Hot Fuzz on the 14th, to co-incide with Valentines or just as early previews (a lot of cinemas do this), the general release date is the 16th. Virtually all films open on a Friday in the UK, which is the 16th. And it's on all the posters. HornetMike 22:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been moved forward to 14th February. There are TV spots showing now that say Valentine's Day, and here are some articles that mention it: [1] [2] [3] and Working Title's own website: [4].
