[Updated with a promo spot for the event produced by, apparently, a group of Twitch readers. Thanks to Justin for passing it along! You'll find it below the break.]

Rejoice, Toronto film fans! Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright has taken up residence here in our fair city and is soon to be taking over the Bloor Cinema with a series of hosted screenings. What's he bringing? Well, on Saturday, February 28th Wright will be hosting a night of his own work, screening a double bill of Shaun and Fuzz along with an uncut version of his Grindhouse trailer Don't. The only thing missing is A Fistful Of Fingers, don't hold out on us Edgar! How to follow that up? Well, the very next day Wright will be presenting - both on 35 mm - a double bill of Shaolin Soccer and legendary gore-fu flick The Story of Ricky! Pig entrails on the big screen! Hurray! As for the rest of the series, there's still a slot or two to be filled, but here's the list as it currently stands:

Mar. 8th: 7pm The Wanderers / 9:30pm - The Warriors
Mar. 14th: 9:45pm - Head
Mar. 15th: 7pm Dames / 9pm - Phantom of the Paradise TBC
Mar. 22nd: 5pm - Spaced Marathon TBC
April. 5th: 7pm Five Fingers Of Death TBC/ 9:30pm Drunken Master 2
April 12th: 7pm The Brood / 9pm Last Night

Get on out!
