It's my great pleasure to post a statement about the US Spaced from one Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson), who as ever, seems to sum up it better than me and Simon ever could dare to dream.
"Spaced in America by Jessica Hynes. March 4th 2008
Things have really hotted up in the last few days – 'Simon Pegg vs Mc.G!' 'Mc.G is a fat douche bag!' 'It's a f***ing travesty!' (that's fucking). I felt a tear come to my eye when I went on PINKRAYGUN.COM, because she kind of said it for me. When someone else fights your corner and feels your injustice for you it rocks, let me tell you. So can I just say thank you for that. You know who you are. x
It might make everyone feel better to know that I am planning a counter attack; A British re-make of 'Charlies Angels' called 'Charlies Angles' – about three female architects who love to design buildings make biscuits, and wear button up cardigans. That's gonna hurt you Mc.G huh?– a remake of one of YOUR films with no titties?? Huh??! HUH!!!
Anyway I'm going to keep it short – just wanted again to reiterate that Simon, Edgar and I were not approached – at any stage or consulted in anyway. In fact I approached THEM in a very English way wondering if, you know I'd been in the garden when they called, but have been politely told that no official, meaningful involvement ( save wheeling us out to placate the fans) is possible.
So don't watch it, don't think about it – buy our D.V.D coming out in America in the summer and SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!!"
