Picking this one up for review. Rusted AutoParts 19:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Addressed all the comments to now. Kingsif (talk) 21:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Lead

 * I find a bit more detail about what specifically in Spaced influenced making the film. It's mentioned in Production that it was a certain episode.
 * ✅ Kingsif (talk) 20:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Plot

 * Plot is at a succinct 412 words, satisfying WP:FILMPLOT.

Cast

 * Section is solid.

Production

 * The Simon Pegg quote bleeds a bit into the Casting section, if at all possible should be moved up a little.
 * Added to quotebox with Wright's quote. Kingsif (talk) 20:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Not sure if a picture and two quoteboxs are needed for one section (I could be wrong). Maybe, to still make use of the Wright/Pegg image relocate it to maybe Comic adaptations and other media to use to describe their one-off comic.
 * Does it look a bit more even with the quotes combined? Kingsif (talk) 20:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)


 * "Wright has said both that he suggested the film when in a cab with Pegg after the excitement of filming the zombie scene in Spaced,[8] and while watching a horror film with both Pegg and Nick Frost" With the Frost info being in The Guardian source that follows, perhaps that sentence could be reworked to incorporate Frost into the "He began developing it in earnest after playing Resident Evil late one night himself, and going out in the early hours of the morning wondering what a British person's reaction to the zombie apocalypse would be". sentence, just so it doesn't appear unsourced at the end of Frost.

 * "It was the first time the pair had written together" feels a little awkwardly incorporated. Perhaps "Wright and Pegg, marking their first time writing together, completed the screenplay in eight weeks".
 * I've removed it, as it was a bit dubious what with Spaced. (Story credits) Kingsif (talk) 20:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Is Cameos and extras really warranting of it's own section?
 * It's a sub-heading to separate the main casting from the bit parts and zombies - the bit parts and zombies are notable because of the trilogy the bit part actors feed into and the lengths gone to for this film to get zombies. Kingsif (talk)

Release

 * Appears solid to me.

Cultural references

 * Nitpicky thing: "A poster was made for From Dusk Till Shaun to feature in the alternate universe Times Square in the 2018 animated Sony Pictures Marvel Comics movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; the director of this film, Rodney Rothman, had reached out to Wright to ask for a movie suggestion that he could have theoretically made in the alternate universe." Rothman was one of three directors on the film, I feel that should be "Rodney Rothman, a co-director on this film,"

 * Sculpture image bleeds down into Analysis, should be moved up a little.
 * Done a similar thing to the quoteboxes. Kingsif (talk) 20:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Analysis

 * Looks solid.

Reception

 * Should this not be following the Release section?
 * Film MOS puts the reception below things like analysis; I guess it's "here's all the information about the film, followed by how people reacted to it" Kingsif (talk) 20:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Overall
All issues addressed. That's a ✅ for me. Rusted AutoParts 21:03, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
