September 27th, 2009: Better late, than never…

Yes, even I sometimes revisit old locations. Was entertaining a dear friend from across the pond, which was a good excuse to run around North London revisiting old haunts.

Here’s me outside the Spaced house, 23 Meteor Street itself. Shopping trolley nowhere to be seen.

Outside Liz’s apartment from “Shaun Of The Dead”. Kate Ashfield nowhere to be seen.

Outside Shaun’s house from “Shaun Of The Dead”. Kid with football nowhere to be seen.

    I am a writer for Kevin Smith’s website, quickstopentertainment.com, and seeing as these are pictures of you standing outside of zomb…I mean “z word” movie locations I thought I would send you a link to my review of ZOMBIELAND, in which I frequently mention the greatest zombie comedy of all time (the one you made…) and compare, contrast, and defend Mr. Fliescher’s Zombieland as a different movie and not a rip-off. Thanks for reading, if you find time.

        Good article Bob,personally i’m very much looking forward to Zombieland, there is always room in this genre for a different take.
        People are going to compare it to SOTD anyway but i see that as part of the fun, nothing like a good geek dust-up, ACTIVATE!!!!

          thanks angle, I very much agree.

    If your film career ever goes south (yeah, right), you can always fall back on giving SHAUN and SPACED fan tours through London. Nice!

    Great photo of you outside the Spaced house -10 years later – still amazing – congratulations.

      High praise from the people whose opinion REALLY counts!

    Sometime in the next decade, I fully intend to make a pilgrimage to the UK where I visit a buttload of locations used in British movies and TV shows; these three are definitely on the list, as well as Wells.

    Side note: nice to see you smiling again. ^_^

    Also known as “places I want to live.” If I lived in the shaun house I would walk around like a zombie all day and scratch records all night.

    Are the bats on your shirt swarming in the shape of a question mark?

    I love the look on your face in the last photo. I really enjoyed my visit to Wells earlier this year & i can’t wait to check out some of these Shaun & Spaced locations at some point.

    Its a dream of mine to visit all these locations. I would also like a picture by that crazy red phone booth outside the Winchester. That’s my dream photo!

    • http://www.edgarwrighthere.com Edgar Wright

      That place is sadly no more.

      • Llama

        Has it actually been demolished now? Or still just boarded up?

      • Neil Neenan

        They were just pulling it down when I went to visit with llamsy, the phone booth was still there but the building was all bordered up. (see pic)

        http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilneenan/3965842402/in/set-72157622479512492/

        We’ve been to all those locations and we… might have bought a cornetto at Nelson’s shop.

        It’s always strange to see how differently locations compare to how they look through the lens. The scene at Liz’s flats looks tiny in real life… Wide Angle?

        Definitely recommend going on the tour though. Want to do the pubs from Spaced too but haven’t had the chance yet.

        • angle

          It’s a real shame they would destroy such a classic building, boo hiss to developers!

        • SarahAC

          Aw. Poor Winchester.
          If I ever make it to London one day I will absolutely tour all those places.
          Llama & Neil you’d better come with me, right? :)

            Hell yes.

        I feel like I lost a child today. I swear even if I have to remake it as a set for a movie I make in the future I WILL GET My PICTURE. But yes it is very sad!!!

    fab! you look so happy outside of the SPACED house!

    I might be getting to London in the next couple of weeks – I must make the trek to at least visit Spaced house.

    I love those flats though.

    Wow, you were right near my house! N7 rep ur endz.

    P.S I wasn’t allowed to be a zombie and it breaks my heart to this day. Every ‘please excuse the state of our extras’ sign was like a knife.
