“The first swap was a repeated move where we did the shot with Anya and Matt, and then just did it again with Thomasin. Even when we were doing it, I didn’t know we were going to be able to pull it off. And the reason it’s so good is because Matt Smith and Anya and Thomasin’s continuity is just so dead-on. And I was like, ‘Why don’t we just shoot all of them?’ ‘How long can we keep this going?’ Because it’s intoxicating to watch. That’s supposed to be the idea of the scene. The first dream sequence is alluring and glamorous and intoxicating, seductive. So that was how it came about. Other than that shot, you’re watching one unbroken take. Watching that is like an amazing dance in itself, because really, a shot like that is a collaboration between the three performers — and then also the fourth performer in the scene, Chris Bain, the Steadicam operator. The shot stands and falls on him being in the right place at all times. The idea was, the longer we can keep these shots going, the more immersive it will be. You feel like you’re living vicariously through her. It’s about not breaking the spell. It’s like we’re showing you a reality of something, even if what we’re showing you is very fantastical.“ - Edgar Wright

Watchthe first trailer for Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho.
I just watched Hot Fuzz again and I need to talk about it.
The writers for Hot Fuzz have said several times that Nicolas originally had a female love interest but she took up too much time without being connected to the murder plot so they removed her completely and instead gave her core dialogue and scenes to Danny, making him the love interest.
The movie constantly makes connections between Danny and Nicolas’ ex-girlfriend. For example, she complained about Nicolas forgetting her birthday so later on Nicolas panics when nobody told him it was Danny’s birthday. She told him he has to find someone he can love more than work and by the end he chose Danny over working in London. He gifts Danny flowers and wins him a stuffed toy. They spend the night out together followed by Danny inviting Nicolas home. They have a romantic theme that only plays during their emotional scenes. We even see the exact moment Nicolas realise he’s in love with Danny when the old lady asks if he’s buying flowers for a special someone and he says “….Yes” with a shy little smile.
The only thing missing is an actual kiss but in the Cornetto trilogy romantic relationships are rarely sealed with a kiss. In Shaun of The Dead the main romantic couple Shaun and Liz never kissed once and they had as much physical contact as Nicolas and Danny.
It’s funny to watch this movie and realise it has more queer content than some more modern movies and shows that are hailed as good queer media.
Like, I’ve never heard anyone accuse Hot Fuzz of queerbaiting but because it treats Nicolas and Danny’s relationship the same way most movies treat straight romances in the genre (it was literally originally written as a straight romance) people just didn’t notice it was a queer movie or thought it was a joke on homoerotic buddy cop movies. If it came out today it would absolutely be on the queer movie list.
