We listen to Adam and Joe a lot in the studio, and Joe's set his film in the \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heygate_Estate\">Heygate council estate\u003C/a> (or 'project', if you're American) where Stuart used to live when he first moved out of his parents' house. Joel's title is something like 'Creature Assistant' and he got to learn a lot about alien prosthetics. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"720\"/>\\r\n\\r\nThe film includes fab actor \u003Cb>Nick Frost\u003C/b>, whom you may remember from the cast of \u003Ci>Shaun of the Dead\u003C/i> and \u003Ci>Hot Fuzz\u003C/i>. Stuart and I were watching \u003Ci>Shaun of the Dead\u003C/i> on video and suddenly started yelling and had to stop it for another look when we realised it was filmed three streets away from our house!
