Got a problem? The fuzz are all over it. Edgar Wright is one of my favorite directors. His films always have a lot of laughs, heart, and visual interest. It seems like no one sees the medium as he does, and that's what sets him apart from other directors. Wright has a specific tone and style. His auteur tendencies are often imitated but seldom replicated. Even though he is a singular force, there are lots of lessons we can learn from his scripts and styles. One of my favorites of his films is Hot Fuzz. It's a reimagining of a buddy cop movie mixed with an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery. Wright wrote Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg, who also stars in the film. Their collaboration, along with Nick Frost's acting, really brings this world to life. There are so many genre, tone, and general writing lessons located within the movie that I wanted to share the screenplay with all of you and talk about the things it taught me.
