Plot details for Hot Fuzz have started to emerge. You don't know what Hot Fuzz is? Well, to put it simply, it's What Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright Did After Shaun Of The Dead.

This is quoted verbatim from the press release, by the way:

"Police constable Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is good at his job; so good in fact, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, his superiors at the Met have decided to sweep him under the carpet. So it is that London's top cop finds himself in the sleep 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 Butter (Nick Frost), an oafish but well meaning young Constable, who dreams of being Mel Gibson. 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."

The cast list reads (of course) like a Who's Who of British comedy, including Timothy Dalton, Bill Bailey, Steve Coogan, Edward Woodward and Jim Broadbent, amongst others. This looks hugely promising - shooting due to start later this month.
