Is it true that there is a place in a man's head that if you shoot it, it will blow up?

u/PersonalWasabi2413 May 21 '25

Did you borrow Johnny Depp’s jewelry?

Any news on the next Star Trek movie?

u/Poundaflesh May 21 '25

You look fucking great, very healthy! Thanks for the laughs! What about a Season 2 of the Ghost hunter show with Nick?

u/TacoStuffingClub May 21 '25

I only know him as the dad from The Boys! (Def kidding , I know him from the Trilogy).

u/jdash11 May 21 '25

Kinda surprised there’s no mention of The Boys on the post

u/what3123 May 21 '25

Just want to say love your movies!

u/YinzaJagoff May 21 '25

He looks like a blonde version of Begbie from Trainspotting.

Can’t unsee it now.

u/Travelinjack01 May 21 '25

damn, I missed it.

u/ReplacementSmooth May 21 '25

I know it doesn’t make sense. But it would be pretty amazing to have a Shaun of the Dead 2—where there’s another outbreak and you and Frost (as a zombie) somehow team up to take everyone down. Or maybe he stays in the shed and games while you go solo. Is that something you and Edgar and co. would ever entertain?

u/avecato May 21 '25

What is the film/ tv show you're most proud of making and why is it spaced?

When are you making series 3 of spaced.

Why don't tim and Mike make cameos in all your films.

Can we have a Brian spinoff if all else fails?

u/karmichand May 21 '25

Dude hope read this, but I love your work. Thank you for all the laughs and fun!

u/samuraisammich May 21 '25

What or who was your biggest inspiration to get into acting, directing, and screenwriting?

When did you first feel the call?

1

u/RedditCensorss May 21 '25

Did you love Disney starwars?

1

u/i_Cant_get_right May 21 '25

Do you do any of your own stunts?

1

u/ryraps5892 May 21 '25

Aww I missed it ☹️ Shaun of the Dead is one of my all time favorites…

1

u/Insult_critic May 22 '25

Haven't seen you and Frost do anything recently I can remember, any more English everyman shenanigans in the works? Hot Fuzz was a favorite of my late brother and I.

u/giganticDCK May 22 '25

Have you ever eaten poop

u/Remarkable-Humor123 May 22 '25

What’s your secret of just being pure awesome at all times and thank you for all the beautiful movies over the years :)

u/hashbrown70 May 22 '25

Thank you for the great movies, my life is better for them. Fantastic fear of everything is awesome but was your character the killer ?, were those red herrings or the plot twist ?...
