The Sparks Brothers and Shaun of the Dead director on working in Gateway, getting rejected by Viz and appearing on Going Live!
I grew up in Wells, the small Somerset town where we filmed Hot Fuzz. My teenage obsession became getting into see films underage. I’d go to the Regal cinema, stick in lots of hair gel, and do an unconvincing low voice: “One for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” age 13, or “One for Goodfellas,” age 16.
