I know I posted this earlier, but I would just like to dwell on this a little.
Let’s break this down. The picture in its own is rather simple. It features Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg together around a board with the simple words “The Worlds End…” on it.
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have worked together multiple times with their “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy”, more commonly known as “The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.” The first two films in the trilogy, of course, are Shaun Of The Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). The trilogy is a reference to another trilogy by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski’s trilogy called “The Three Colors” trilogy. However, instead of using colors to link the three together, Edgar and Simon used Cornetto Ice Cream.
Shaun of the Dead featured red strawberry cornetto and Hot Fuzz featured a blue classic flavour. The End of The World… (tentative title) is going to be the third film in the trilogy, and is set to feature green mint chocolate chip (delicious!).
The End Of The World… has been talked about and teased since the release of Hot Fuzz, basically. The title has been around, and no one (not Edgar, Simon, or Nick Frost) have confirmed it, and actually found it to be ridiculous at first. They had no idea what the story was going to be like, so having a title already was preposterous. But here we are, about 5 years after the release of Hot Fuzz, and we have this picture. Does this mean they’re going with the title? Are they going to change it? Or are they simply just fucking with us?
Either way, this picture got me waaaay excited.
