Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg hint that work is underway on The World’s End

It looks as though Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are finally getting round to starting work on the final instalment of their Blood and Ice Cream trilogy...

Published on Jan 25, 2012


After years of audiences patiently waiting for The World’s End, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s final instalment of their Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, they have finally hinted that they’re finally getting round to working on it with the release of a new picture on Twitter.

Whilst little is known about the genre and plot of the film it’s pleasing to see that Wright and Pegg have found time in their busy schedules to work on the film.

The gap between Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz was a relatively short one, with there only being three years between the release of the films. However, when the rumoured 2014 release of The World’s End finally comes around, fans will have waited seven years for the completion of the trilogy, and four years for a new feature film by Edgar Wright.

2014 is also, currently, the reported year we'll get to see his Ant-Man movie. Where that sits right now, though, is unclear.

More news on both of these projects as we get it. We're looking forward to both...

With a name like that It's got to be a disaster movie. like 2012, or the day after tomorrow. right?

I while ago I read that it would be a spoof on disaster movies, which is awesome since Wright and Pegg are on it!

I think that's what it was always intended to be. But see, I could always see Shaun of The Dead with references to Zombie films, Hot Fuzz with references to Cop and Action films, but there really aren't that many disaster films to reference. And considering it's one of the things that drives their films (and spaced) to be so damn good I don't know where they are going to take inspiration from. Deep Impact, Armageddon, Day after tomorrow, 2012. Any more? The only other ones I thought of were more 'alien' than disaster like Independence Day.

@Stuxmusic - You seriously can't think of any more disaster movies to spoof? The 70s, 80s & 90s, where Pegg/Wright get a lot of their horror/action references from were also peppered with disaster films like The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, The Poseidon Adventure, Airport, Avalanche, Volcano, Titanic, Apollo 13, When Worlds Collide, Daylight, The Andromeda Strain, By Dawn's Early Light, Alive, The Peacemaker, The Swarm - to name but a few - and that was deliberately laving out alien invasion films...

I think it's more of (as the title suggests) world ending apocalyptic type film, and there aren't that many of them.
