The US version of the Rogue Picture’s Hot Fuzz website has now gone live. The site, which includes an official synopsis, character profiles, trailers and an opportunity to ‘join the Fuzz’ (mailing list) can be accessed here.

Hot Fuzz is British cop thriller written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced fame starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The plot, paying homage to the cop movie genre, revolves around London policeman Nicholas Angel (Pegg), who is so good at his job he’s making his colleagues look bad. He’s transferred to the village of Sandford in Somerset, where he’s partnered with the oafish but well-meaning Constable Danny Butterman (Frost), who dreams of being Mel Gibson. Grisly events begin to take place in the rural village, and it’s up to Angel and Butterman to sort it out. Hot Fuzz is scheduled for release February 16th 2007.

After the recent torrent of images from the Tarantino/Rodriguez double-header Grindhouse we now finally have the onesheet poster courtesy of comingsoon. The beautifully distressed poster features the now familiar imagery for both Death Proof and Planet Terror with the Grindhouse banner and the tagline “The Gruesome Twosome Returns!”.

Grindhouse will consist of two individual films, Planet Terror, directed by Rodriguez, and Deathproof, directed by Tarantino, and is scheduled for release 6 April 2007. Inspired by late 70s and early 80s slasher films, Deathproof is about a serial killer who uses his car to mutilate his victims. Planet Terror is a zombie movie with ‘infected people menacing’ a town. The features are set to be conjoined by grind house style trailers by Eli Roth and Edgar Wright amongst others.

Geekmonthly.com is running an exclusive report in which the site claims that Universal Home Video is considering greenlighting a two hour Battlestar Galactica movie that would be released directly on DVD. If the SCI-FI Channel approves a fourth season for the critically acclaimed television series, the telefilm would start shooting in March 2007, just prior to the beginning of production on the new season.

The site’s informant mentions that there is no story outline available yet for the film, but that an idea is to reuse existing sets and tie in the story with the still-to-be-greenlit prequel spin-off show Caprica. More details are available here - but none of this has been officially confirmed as of yet.
