"Come Get Some": A Spaced Thread.

[Reply #280 on:]

Ooh, i didn't notice the new, animated version! I suppose you can't get it to scroll sideways very well within the PEEL size limit?

EDIT: TOTPD! I got one that Germanfryfan didn't!

[Reply #281 on:]

My initial plan was to do one that scrolled sideways, I've seen one as an avatar on the Spaced-Out board, and thought it was cool.

If someone (more) talented (than me) wants to have a go at one then I'd certainly like to see it.

This sig is based on the first trailer on the S1 DVD, just in case anyone didn't notice.

[Reply #282 on:]

Guys if you have MTV now turn over and watch Dude where my movie. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are it!

[Reply #283 on:]

*Bump*

With Spaced-Out showing no signs of coming back...

Shaun Of The Dead UK DVD Release - Monday 11 October.

This should be out in time for my dodgy copy to be worn out.  No sign of any extras, but it's a fair bet that there'll be a commentary, and deleted scenes on there. 

Still holding out for the homage-o-meter.

[Reply #284 on:]

Yay! 

*camps out at HMV until October 11th*

Also, I've thought of a slogan for the ESPG:
"I hate your mum, and I hate you!" (I hope I remembered that quote right...)

[Reply #285 on:]

Yay that is great news! thanks for the info Melll

[Reply #286 on:]

Perfect slogan!

Checking IMDB, SOTD comes out on DVD in UK before it comes out in Cinemas in Australia, those poor Aussies.

Having missed it first time around, I rented the first series of Black Books which was great.  I especially liked Nick Frost's appearance ("There was a little man!").  Excellent.

Oh, and I also saw Peter Serafinowicz's excellent series, Look Around You.  Total genius parody of the Science For Schools programmes from the 70's and 80's.  Has to be seen, as it's fucking awesome.

LAY features cameos from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost (blink and you'll miss 'em both), and Spaced/SOTD director, Edgar Wright (who appears quite a bit throughout the series).

[Reply #287 on:]

Hoo-ray! 11th October I shall be in HMV.


----------------
That's what I called my box!

[Reply #288 on:]

One other thing I remember, was that the Zombie extras recruited by Simon Pegg on the Spaced-Out Board, reported that Pegg was hanging around on set shooting footage with a camcorder, so expect some kind of Video Diary on the DVD.

 

This, from Moviesonline.com:
This info is from various Chat transcripts and me.

As well as extra footage ( 7 mins was cut out for pacing all will be on the DVD). Expect a whole cast commentary , as well as an extra Simon and Edgar one. May even be a special Bill and Penelope commentary

As well as this Simon has talked about a special version of the film that was being created, a "airplane" version where the swear words have been badly dubbed out to hilarious effect.

Being on set I noticed a lot of Behind the scenes footage being filmed, not only by other film crews but the stars themselves. Simon has said that some of the stuff was for himself to remember the memories of making his first film, but that quite a bit would be added for the DVD extras.

Another thing which I've just (this minute) worked out, is that Jessica Stevenson's character, Yvonne's appearance in the movie is a massive massive reference to Resident Evil 2 (the game, not the movie).

Reason being, that there's another movie going on in SOTD, which is Yvonne's story (running alongside Shaun's story), this is the same premise of RE2, whereby once you complete the game as the bloke, you can put in disk two and play the game again, from a different perspective as the girl.  This is the same implication of Jess's character - she is not a parallel universe version of Shaun, she just has a parallel story, exactly like the girl in RE2.

Can't believe I missed that.

[Reply #289 on:]

Any news on spaced series three?

[Reply #290 on:]

Unfortunately, with the recent demise (or, long term hiatus) of Spaced-Out, we won't get to find out yet.  As Mr. Pegg has currently got nowhere to post his Spaced news.  Unfortunately, I can't see him becoming a PEELer.

I posted a few pages back that they'll get onto it once all of the hoopla over Shaun Of The Dead has died down.  This won't be until after October, which is the Aussie release of the movie, as they'll be doing press and stuff. 

The big date is 17 September, which is the US Release Date for SOTD.

Also, bear in mind that Pegg and Nick Frost have also got another sitcom, La Triviata coming soon too.

Personally, I'd like to see some concrete news on Series Three of Spaced by the end of the year.  This largely depends (I believe) on the worldwide success of Shaun Of The Dead.

EDIT:

Browsing Sendit.com I saw this, the boxed set of Spaced 1 & 2 was re-released recently, so one wonders what the "Definitive Collectors Edition" will be.  It's released in September.

[Reply #291 on:]

*Bump*

Fellow ESPGers, I need your help.

Since I've been into Spaced, I've been looking for a site which has all of the episodes transcribed into script-form.  So far, I've come up with nothing, so I've decided to create one myself.

Also, this will be another fan resource if/when Spaced-Out comes back up.

This is quite a large task, so I'm asking for some of the ESPG to help-out.

My first task is to transcribe Shaun Of The Dead, then I'm going to move onto Series One of Spaced.

Would anyone like to help?

[Reply #292 on:]

Good luck with it, I'd help but I'm about to move house (and get married soon too) so I'm proper busy at the mo.
Will help later if you're still at it tho.
As a side note, do you know if the script of Shaun of the Dead is available on-line?

[Reply #293 on:]

It will be, once I've done transcribing the pirate-DVD I have of it.  It's pretty good quality, so I don't anticipate any problems.

[Reply #294 on:]

Sure I'll help. I can work on Series 2 if you like

*cracks knuckles*

[Reply #295 on:]

I'll help!

I cannot guarantee the quality of the help, but it'll be help!

[Reply #296 on:]

I could help. I've got an extended Summer Holiday, both DVD sets and lots of free time!

[Reply #297 on:]

Cool.  At the moment, any help is good help, if you love Spaced, and can type, then you're in.

Do an episode each, if you like, then we can start to put it up?

I'm also looking for pictures (preferably DVD screenshots), references, and whatever else you'd like to contribute.

EDIT: If you're serious and wanna get cracking, then drop me a line (take a short mental journey) by either IMing or emailing me.  Thanks.

[Reply #298 on:]

Melll: Good idea  Hopefully this is of some help.

I saw an episode of Jam the other day, can't remember much cause I was quite possibly drunk and half-asleep. It had Mark Heap(Brian from Spaced) in it but I didn't really get the humour. Usually I love bizarre stuff, but this was the thing of nightmares and bad trips

[Reply #299 on:]

Alenacat, that site looks like it might be of some help!

I'm a big fan of Jam (Mark Heap is great in it - the sketch in which he throws himself into a chipper as a love-token to the girl who recently dumped him is priceless).

I'm going to make a start on Shaun later today.

[Reply #300 on:]

*Bump*

I started the Shaun script last night, I've got around 10 minutes into the movie,

However, I've got site up and ready:

http://www.freewebs.com/sliceoffriedgold/

[Reply #301 on:]

I'm going to start scripting Episode one of Series 2.

[Reply #302 on:]

Cool, excellent!  Thanks! Drop me a line when you're done.

Shaun is coming along slowly, I'll be able to make headway this weekend.  Anything else to contribute towards the site would be welcome (wallpapers?).

[Reply #303 on:]

Well I started some of Episode 2 of Series 1 last night.

Do you want us to include the references in the script or not?

Also: I'm rubbish at stuff like wallpapers, sorry Melll.

[Reply #304 on:]

No worries.  I was going to have seperate pages for references, but whatever floats your boat.  Just do what you can, I'll be happy either way.

[Reply #305 on:]

I will hopefully have the facilities to supply you with plenty of luverly framegrabs this weekend.

EDIT: Here are a few examples of stuff I captured:







and finally, all together now....

"F**K OFF!!"

[Reply #306 on:]

Excellent Coily!

Shaun is still coming..... slowly.

Meanwhile, I have another date for your diaries.  A revised release for SOTD on DVD.

Wait for it...

[Reply #307 on:]

Good framegrabs Coilette. 

Great news about Shaun Melll. Some amazing extras there 

I'll try and do some more of the second epsiode of series one tonight.

[Reply #308 on:]

Yay it’s coming out near my birthday (September 15th). I am going to ask everybody to get it for me. Oh and the script looks great Melll. I will read it some time if I got the time.

[Reply #309 on:]

I cannot wait for the Shaun of the Dead DVD 

Excellent grabs Coilette ... if you ever need someone else to do some, I'm here   

[Reply #310 on:]

Yeah, that DVD looks like it's gonna be the dogs nuts. 

Shame about the homage-o-meter though, I have high hopes for the Director/Writer commentary by Wright and Pegg filling us in on the references.

Anyone else wants to contribute grabs and stuff to the site, please holler.  It all will be very much appreciated.

EDIT:

 

I've put page one of Shaun Of The Dead up, so if you want to have a look it's here.

 Here's page 2 of the SOTD Script.

[Reply #311 on:]

I did a lot of episode 2 last night. I'm hoping to finish it tonight and then I'll mail the results to Melll.

I could also do some framegrabs of season one or two. If anyone wants me to, I don't mind....

[Reply #312 on:]

Excellent Cat, I'll look out for it.

Meanwhile, here's page 3.  30 minutes in, and finally some zombies.

Also, if you're too lazy:

Page 2

[Reply #313 on:]

I've just sent it Melll. It might be in your junk mail, as hotmail has some sort of grudge against gmail. 

I made some framegrabs of episode 2 and I'll finish getting them tonight, hopefully. I'll zip the file and send it to you. There might be too many so you can pick and choose. 

[Reply #314 on:]

I've done a lot of framegrabs from series 1, episode 3 today. I'm just putting them up now...

[Reply #315 on:]

Thanks, Impy!

Cat, I got your mail, but no attachment.  I've replied.

[Reply #316 on:]

Hm. I'm trying to send the email now Melll, but the file may be too big for your puny storage allowance 

Well I just checked the file and it's 104kb. Is that too big? I also have about 60 framegrabs from the same episode, and although they're in a zip file, they're too big too. I could imageshack them for you?

Any ideas of how I could get them to you? 

[Reply #317 on:]

Ah, here we go. I've set up a new photobucket account ( http://photobucket.com/albums/v375/comegetsome/  ) so anyone who wants to put any Spaced pictures up can do so in that account. I've made it a public one, I hope it works     
Username: comegetsome
Password: spaced
- you can use this for your grabs, Cat   

This should be the folder/link for all the framegrabs I did from series 1, episode 3: http://photobucket.com/albums/v375/comegetsome/S1episode3/

The grabs might be a bit big, sorry.



Ah, I'm so glad I discovered Spaced...     

[Reply #318 on:]

Cat, just send the script.

As Impy's created a photobucket for the grabs, I'd use that.

Impy, that's fan-flipping-tastic!  Scanning through those grabs is like watching the episode.

[Reply #319 on:]

I'll do some grabs from 'Gone' (ep 5, I think) Series 2, I'll use the photobucket account (which is a very good idea Impy  )
