For those of you unfamiliar with it, “Spaced” is the phenomenal early oughts British sitcom which marked the first collaboration between Nick Frost, Edgar Wright, and Simon Pegg, the same guys who later brought us Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (it’s also the name-sake for my column, “It’s Finished”). Like plenty of great recent British comedies, it was treated to an American re-make – and like every such remake apart from The Office, it was a stellar disaster.
And now, via a social networking site whose name I’d rather not promote from a passive to an active part of my vocabulary Pegg has shared the link of a lifetime. Behold, the American “Spaced”:
Michael Re is a freelance writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and story-telling has long been the proverbial monkey on his back. For the last few years, he’s worked as a critic of comics, film, and television, all the while toiling away at his own creative pursuits in an effort to always put his money where his mouth is. His most noteworthy accomplishments are as a song-writer, having co-written and performed on nearly a dozen records. He also watches entirely too much television, and is very glad for an opportunity to justify doing so.
Michael is also an acting editor at In Genre.
