Filmmaker

The Resume

    (April 18, 1974- )
    Born in Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom
    Directed and wrote 'Shaun of the Dead,' 'Don't' (fake trailer for 'Grindhouse'), 'Hot Fuzz,' along with some episodes of the British sitcom 'Spaced'
    Acted in 'Land of the Dead'
    Won Best Screenplay for the British Independent Film Awards in 2004 for 'Shaun of the Dead'
    Won Best Screenplay for the Bram Stoker Awards in 2005 for 'Shaun of the Dead'
    Both awards shared with Simon Pegg

Why he might be annoying:

    'Shaun of the Dead' is obviously a play on George Romero's 'Dawn of the Dead.'
    His films often over use curse words and gory scenes.
    His nickname is Eball.
    He's directing the comic book movie adaptation for 'Ant-Man.'
    He requested that Simon Pegg, who played the lead in 'Shaun of the Dead,' turn down the opportunity of appearing in British horror film 'Dog Soldiers,' so that Simon's first horror movie would be 'Shaun of the Dead.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He began his directing career at the age of 14.
    He often casts Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Bill Nighy
    George Romero is a big fan of 'Shaun of the Dead.'
    Even though his films appeal to the Brits, his films have been well received in the U.S.
