Now that “Spaced” is at long last available here in the states thanks to a very cool extras-laden DVD release, the big question facing series creators Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes, and Edgar Wright has shifted. When will we see the series continued and in what form?
When I chatted with the trio it was clear they had ideas for where the story is headed. “There was always an arc for those characters. There was always a place they were going,” said Pegg.
But in what capacity will “Spaced” continue? As a film or as a series? Therein lies the difference of opinion. Hynes said, “I think it would work on a big screen and Simon thinks it would work on a small screen.”
Here’s Simon’s argument, “My feeling is that ‘Spaced’ is about little people having big ideas and it worked as a TV show because the medium was small and seeing those grand cinematic sweeps on the television was fun. The minute you put it on the big screen it loses some of its power.”
How would you like to see “Spaced” continue? On the big screen or the small? Weigh in below.
