I had also heard the film was going to reverse their roles in that Nick Frost would be the main protagonist while Simon Pegg would be his sidekick…. so that could be a funny change of pace.

I don’t think that this concept sounds all that much like Spaced. I mean, that show involved a character who was a comic book fan, but the show wasn’t particularly based around comics, it had no road trips to speak of, and it didn’t involve British characters out of their element in America. I’m sure there’s more to the film and it’s plot than just “two British comic book geeks that get into an adventure across America”, so I wouldn’t lose hope yet. I mean, I’m pretty damn tired of sub-par zombie and action movies, but Pegg and Frost gave us the incredibly original and entertaining Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, so I’m essentially excited about just about anything they do at this point.

I just stumbled on your blog, and I love it! Keep it up.
