It's a trilogy of films that Wright-Pegg-Frost will do, consisting of Shaun, Hot Fuzz, and THe World's End, is called the "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy" (or The Three Flavors of Cornetto). Each different film will feature a different flavor of ice cream: red strawberry in Shaun, blue Classico flavor in Hot Fuzz, and The World's End will feature green mint-chocolate chip.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you have seen Shaun and Hot Fuzz, both films reference each other heavily (along with other films), and I expect The World's End to as well.
Can you explains why The World's End would be the third movie in the trilogy? I thought they (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) were separate entities...unless you mean it's just the third movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost starring.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I LOVE Edgar Wright.
Hot Fuzz was about cops while Shaun of the Dead was about zombies. Any idea as to what the World's End will be tackling? Judging from the title an apocalypse movie perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI have learned something today, and it's that those movies now seem much more delicious to me, and my mouth waters now when I think about them.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that's kinda what I figured, it terms of them being related to each other in ways OTHER than direct plotline (e.g. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or any other series by someone who ISN'T Edgar Wright).
I will now go lord this newfound knowledge over my friends. Thanks for the info though, that's really interesting :p
