Hot Fuzz was created by four production companies, these being, Working Title, Universal Studios, Studio Canal and Big Talk Producations, we were then asked to research them.


Working Title
Working title is a British film production company, founded by Tim Bevans and Sarah Radclyffe, 1983, the company is based in London. The company is not co-owned by Eric Fellner and Tim Bevans. In 1992, PolyGram became the company's corporate Backer, this opened alot of doors for the company and helped it to become a major Hollywood competitor, Polygram was sold to Universal in 1999, making the company much larger allowing them to become more of a success, creating larger and more accomplished films such as Wimbledon, Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz.





Universal Studios
Universal Studios is one of the 6 major movie studios, and has been creating films since 1912. The company was founded by Carl Laemmle, it is one of the oldest American movie studios still in continuous production today. Since the 1950's Universal Studios has been a major tourist attraction and hosts behind the scenes tours. Famous films produced by Universal Studios would be Frankenstein and Hot Fuzz.





Studio Canal
Studio Canal is a french based production and distribution company, which is part of the canal+ film group, and it owns the third-largest film library in the world. The company was founded in 1988 by Pierre Lescure. Studio canal helped the funding for Bridget Jones' Diary, a film that had great success in Britain, this being a factor into why Hot fuzz was received so well.
