Spaced is finally getting a Region 1 release. And to celebrate, Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) (Shaun of the Dead, Son of Rambow) and director Edgar Wright will travel to New York, Los Angeles, Comic-Con and Austin for special screenings, a marathon, panel sessions and signings for fanboys and fangirls.
It took ‘em long enough. I still have my Livejournal archive, and according to that – I purchased the Region 2 release sometime around December 2004. The series ended in 2001. So yea, no one was in a rush.
You can guess that since I’m writing about it here on raishad.com, I love Spaced. And you’d be right. It’s one of those shows that I get an urge to marathon. And you could probably guess that I’ll be at the Austin event. But unfortunately, I’ll be on vacation. I’ll be out of the country. I’ll be in Trinidad. I’ll be missing Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes, and Edgar Wright. I’ll be missing Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright for the 2nd time.
It’s a bit disappointing.
Regarding the upcoming release, it looks like I might have to buy it, though the cover is a bit worse. There will be new commentary tracks and a few new interview bits.
