trilogy

Edgar Wright posted a picture on Twitter today (see below) titled “Hard at work” referring to finally getting to work on The World’s End.  Next to him stands Simon Pegg, who is probably thinking how in the hell will this meet expectations?  Missing but not forgotten is Nick Frost; the team has worked together on Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and are on their way now to complete the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy (also called the “Three Flavours Trilogy” as red strawberry is featured in Shaun of the Dead and a blue Classic flavor in Hot Fuzz. The World’s End is said to have green mint chocolate chip).

The busy schedules of all involved may be to blame for the lack of completion to the trilogy over the years (Dead was in 2004, Fuzz was in 2007), but who cares – they are working on it now for a rumored 2014 release.

FYI: The use of the three flavours/colours is a reference to Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Three Colours film trilogy.

Just like Laurel & Hardy

Just like Laurel & Hardy

Admit it, you thought that I was going to post news that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the duo from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) were going to be doing a movie based on the not so funny SNL skit with Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd. Shame on you and shame on me for leading you down that path.

Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, and Bill Hader have joined Greg Mottola’s (Superbad/Adventureland) Paul. Scripted by and starring Pegg and Frost as two British nerds, fresh off a trip to Comic Con, who decide to go on a road trip to Area 51. They meet an alien named Paul who asks them to help him escape from the U.S. Government with tons of references to Aliens, Star Wars, and Back To The Future. Rogen will be providing the voice for the alien creature, and we can only assume that Bateman, Wiig, Hader and Lynch will either play government officials or characters they meet along the way on their road trip adventure. Thanks Variety.
