The World's End starts production in September

The World's End starts production in September photo



Well it took 'em long enough! Yesterday, Deadline debuted the news that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's third installment in the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, The World's End, will start production this September. That's only like... four months away!

And aside from that, we're blessed with a plot synopsis. Check it out:

20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.

That's not at all what I was thinking when I heard Edgar and Simon were doing an apocalypse movie. But when you think about it, this is exactly what the two of them would write. Since the film starts production in September, I'm going to place my bets on a Summer 2013 release for this one.

Teaser Trailer: Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Although this looks so much like the first teaser that they may have been filmed around the same time, it's hard to deny its hilarity. It's just the Channel 4 News Team walking forward and exchanging one liners once more. Th...

Trailer: The Hangover Part III (Red Band)

The final part of the Hangover trilogy (Trilogy? Who knew?) releases in just a little under six days so that means there's well enough time to squeeze in one final Red Band trailer. If none of the previous material convinced...

Teaser Trailer: Last Vegas

I'll admit that I'm a sucker for "old men doing young things" movies desspite how bad most of them are. I sat through The Bucket List, Space Cowboys (but it was kind of good), Stand Up Guys, and I'm most likely going to see ...

Review: Frances Ha

Woody Allen's Manhattan opens with that stunning overture of "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin. It's like a love letter to the city, the great colossus, a romanticized land of bustle and possibility. The film is a portrai...

This Is Spinal Tap soundtrack getting reissued on vinyl

This Is Spinal is one of the best movies of the 1980s and one my my favorite movies of all time. It's still the grandaddy of the mockumentary genre, and I don't think it'll be topped in terms of execution or sheer quality. Th...

Review: How Sweet It Is

One of my favorite comedies is Waiting for Guffman, the first of those Christopher Guest-directed ensemble mockumentaries. It plays well with the goofiness of amateur theater and really embraces the hokey vibe of stage musica...
