Excerpt:
Simon Pegg was a British actor, writer and comedian who rose to fame in the U.K. as star of the popular twenty-something slacker sitcom “Spaced” (Channel Four, 1999, 2001). Pegg frequently collaborated with other talent from “Spaced,” forming a hip new clique of British comedians who eventually found widespread appeal with international audiences. He co-wrote and starred in the cultishly adored zombie spoof “Shaun of the Dead” in 2004, earning a U.S. following that ballooned to full-blown stardom in 2007 with the action flick send-up “Hot Fuzz.”
Broadway hits, best-selling books and World War II are influencing the movies getting the most buzz as the fall films begin to roll out to a theater near you.
After a record-setting super-hero summer, the fall might feel a little quiet for the blockbuster crowd; the September-October lineup is traditionally low on size and sizzle and more about content.
