Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (two thirds of the people who brought the world Spaced) have teamed up to bring you a movie that features everyone who is anyone in British comedy. And hundreds of zombies, naturally.

We asked them to give us the lowdown on Shaun Of The Dead.

*How did this idea come about, was it from the Spaced episode where Tim has his Resident Evil hallucination?

Simon: Yes. We were keen to indulge our little peccadillos in terms of horror, and the morning we filmed the Resident Evil scenes in Spaced we got to the end of it and just thought it would be great to do that for a lot longer.
