We’re still waiting to hear what film director Edgar Wright is doing next, but we know the next step for his first feature. Wright’s Shaun of the Dead has been turned into a live stage production by Almost Legal Productions. It premiered in late October of this year but is coming back in the next few months. Both Wright and Simon Pegg, who starred in and co-wrote the film, gave the officially licensed show their seal of approval. The show will be performed all over the UK during 2015 and tickets are on sale now.

Below, see a trailer for Shaun of the Dead Live, including some of the musical numbers and examples of audience participation, and read more about the show.

Shaun of the Dead Live trailer

Trailer via Almost Legal.

A writeup on Chortle explains how Pegg and Wright both gave the show their blessing and has links to get tickets. It’s not coming to the U.S yet, but the show is all over the UK during the Spring and Summer of 2015.

Over on the official site of Almost Legal Productions, they have even more info on the show. Head there to check it out, but here’s their description of it:

Life is going nowhere for Shaun. He spends his life in his local pub, with his best mate Ed, has issues with his Mum and step-dad and things aren’t running too smoothly with his girlfriend Liz. When Liz dumps him, Shaun finally decides to get his life in order. He must win back her heart, repair his relationship with his mum and face up to his responsibilities. Unfortunately, there is a slight problem with the world being taken over by Zombies. For the newly inspired Shaun, this is just another obstacle. In the face of a full scale ZOMBIE EPIDEMIC, armed with a cricket bat and his best mate with a spade, Shaun & Ed go to rescue Liz, her friends, mum and grudgingly his step-dad, and take them to the safest most secure place he knows.

Belief from Simon Pegg and Working Title together with Universal Pictures is about to put Almost Legal Productions on the map. They cut their teeth with several of the most difficult to stage productions. This has enabled ALP to work extensively on adapting one of the most all out zombie UK comedy favourites to stage. With audience participation, goody bags with all the kit required to take part, songs and dances, ALP are set to bring you life after death!

my last words will probably be sarcastic

Fan art, basically:

Was working on this. Don't think I am anymore. Love it though.

Woulda rocked. Was a mental stroll into the world Ridley Scott created.

Ps this has nothing to do with the studio. I just feel like I might do something else instead. In which case why not show some work-

They didn't really even know I was working on it ha

It’s been quite an eventful year. As depressing as the big news of the past year was, there were some funny moments, too. JibJab’s annual Year in Review skewers all of it, to the tune of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

The interwebs are teeming with life hacks, and yet it seems like the more of these little tips and tricks we read the less we remember them all, or any at all, when you're in need of a life hack solution to a problem.

That’s usually because the hack in question was created to solve a virtually nonexistent problem, and remembering a hack you hardly ever use is a waste of good brain space!

So where are all the hacks for everyday problems, problems people can relate to, in other words popsicle problem hacks?

You can find 20 perfectly pedestrian life hacks in this article inexplicably called 15 Best Life Hacks Everyone Needs To Know, and solve those everyday dilemmas with a wink and a smile!

Talk about armed and dangerous! This picture was posted at reddit and labeled “Only in Louisiana,” which doesn’t quite make sense because there’s no shortage of hot sauce at any eatery in Louisiana. However, the vest tells us he’s working outside and wants to be ready for any emergency, even lunch.   

You can order a Tabasco holster in denim, although the leather looks nicer. As you can imagine, the conversation under the picture turned to the merits of Tabasco vs. other hot sauces. Several were mentioned, which made me wonder what y’all thought.

POLL: Which hot sauce is best?

• Tabasco
• Sriracha
• Cholula
• Valentina
• Tapatio
• Crystal
• Tony Chachere's
• Other (please leave a comment)
• Just show me the answers!

New York City is home to some of the world’s most famous parks (including Central Park and Battery Park).  However, we doubt anyone ever thought that the city would build a park below the surface.  Rumor has it that workers of New York City are building an underground park in Manhattan.  Judging by the concept […]

Maxwell Smart's shoe phone would be a handy gadget, but you don't always need a phone. For other moments of crisis, there's the Johnnie Tan Leather Brogue, a shoe from the Oliver Sweeney brand of shoes and the Johnnie Walker brand of whisky. The heels contain tiny compartments for storing whisky bottles. The sides have the Johnnie Walker striding man trademark and the bottoms of the shoes are transparent, which would seem to diminish their effectiveness at concealment.

A long list assembled by The Cauldron.

Nick Offerman wanted for the next season of Fargo

Fargo’s second season will once again explore criminal acts amid the tangled, wintry backwoods of Minnesota. So who better to seek out for a role than Nick Offerman, a man who can chop those backwoods down and make those crimes far easier to solve, while also fashioning some nice canoes? The Wrap reports that an offer is out to Offerman to join the FX series in the role of “Carl,” though besides that being a perfectly fine character name for a man of such roughhewn, Carl-esque stock, little else is known right now. It’s also important to note that Offerman isn’t currently in negotiations, presumably waiting to see whether the Internet demonstrates any interest in his joining another cult series.

You win a ridiculously high amount of dough in the lottery. You collect your winnings and decide to build the house of your dreams. What kind of amenities would you include? Are you a wine or spirits enthusiast enough to build a grand wine cellar? Are you a swimmer who would build indoor/outdoor pools? A hippophile who would build stables for horses? A bibliophile desirous of room for your large collection? The endless possibilities are enough to make one's head spin. 

Here is a list of 35 items that would fit the bill. Even if some of them wouldn't necessarily be on your list, I think most of us can agree that it wouldn't exactly hurt to have them.
