I am already getting excited for this and stocking up on popcorn. We are just a few weeks away from the premiere of The World’s End. The third installment in the Cornetto Trilogy starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is set to hit US theaters August 23rd.
If you’re a huge fan of the Edgar Wright films like I am, you’re not going to want to miss this. Regal cinemas is presenting a The World’s End marathon of all three films in the trilogy. On August 22nd, you can view all three movies starting with the insanely popular Shaun of the Dead.
For only 20 dollars, this sounds like a steal to us.

This looks so good! The final installment of The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy from Edgar Wright is officially on the way. Universal has just released the first official teaser trailer for the new movie The World’s End. Featuring the boys we know and love (Simon Pegg, Nick Frost) and a cast we’re sure to grow to love, the movie will feature a pub crawl of epic proportions. It’s good to see that Simon still hasn’t mastered the art of jumping over a fence.
I can’t wait for this. I haven’t been so excited to see Nick and Simon together since Paul. Which I LOVED.
The World’s End is set to be released July 19th in the U.K. with an August 23rd release in the United States.
Check out the trailer for The World’s End here:
Great news for fans in the U.K. Edgar Wright has just tweeted that the premiere date for The World’s End has been pushed up to July 19th. This will make the release of the movie a month earlier than previously reported. The film is still scheduled for an August 23rd release in the United States. The film is the third in the Cornetto Trilogy, following cult favorites Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and marks another reunion for fan favorites Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The duo previously starred together in the hit comedy Paul.
Joining Pegg and Frost are the likes of Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike. The film is set for a August 23rd release in the US. Expect to see the trailer soon! In ‘The World’s End,’ 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub – The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realise the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.

Cool news for fans of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. Simon Pegg just announced on his Twitter that the release date for the upcoming final installment The World’s End has a new release date. And apparently it’s a better one! The film, originally set to be released in October of this year will now be released on August 23rd, 2013, giving it an “upgrade” to a Summer release. Simon also revealed that sometime soon, an official trailer for the film will be released.
We can’t wait! How about you guys? Are you fans of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz? I would see anything with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost so I am already getting amped up.
I think at this point, it’s safe to say I will watch anything that Simon Pegg is in. Following in the steps of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright are teaming up for The World’s End. I wonder how many cornettos will be in this one? Here is the official synopsis for The World’s End.
I love when these guys get together. Paul was an amazing movie and it’s one of my favorite dvds on my shelf. Like I said, I would watch anything with these guys.
Synopsis:
The official synopsis reads: “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.”
The World’s End will be the final movie in the Spaced trio’s ‘Cornetto Trilogy’, following 2004’s Shaun Of The Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz.
The movie Paul gives me hope that the duo will continue to work together in the future. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out!
