Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright‘s third film, The World’s End has its first trailer out and it looks to be another comedic blending of two film genres. Their first two movies, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are both great late weekend night movies.

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 five Pub Crawling friends are played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan. Directed and co-written with Pegg by Wright, The World’s End opens August 23rd. You can check out the international teaser trailer below.

Movie fans love posters, it’s what use to give us our first look at movies until the Internet let us peer into Hollywood movies months in advance. Although, that hasn’t stopped studios from doing awesome poster reveals, because today, not one, but two high-profile movies and a mystery film released their new posters for our wandering eyes. Lucky us!

First off, the Superhero movies…

Marvel Entertainment released their new poster for The Wolverine featuring the menacing Silver Samurai, who was revealed in a snippet from last week’s trailer. Then we have Warner Bros. who showed off their shiny new Man of Steel banner featuring Supes in space.

Both of these posters are pretty cool and show off both companies clever production value, but the Man of Steel posters has been drawing comparisons to Superman Returns. Seeing as the studio is looking to bring new life into the franchise, they probably should have steered away from Warner Bros. most recent black eye in comic book adaptations.

On the other side of things, Edgar Wright debuted the third and fourth posters to The World’s End, the big finale of his “Three Flavors Cornetto” trilogy. With very little to go on, other than knowing it’s based in science-fiction, Edgar has kept everyone in the dark. Until the official teaser trailer come out on Wednesday, these posters, both from the UK, only add to the mystery of what the hell is going on?

In a year absolutely stacked with big movies – Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Man of Steel, The Wolverine – Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg‘s finale to their Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy may just be the one I’m most excited for. It’s a guarantee they’ll deliver, I’ve not doubt. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are two of my all time favorite movies so I’m dying to see how they’re going to top ‘em.

Below you’ll find a compilation trailer with snippets of almost every movie releasing this summer, and within this mess of clips there’s two very short peeks at The World’s End. Seriously, blink and you’ll miss it.

Bleeding Cool managed to grab two screen caps of those quick moments so you can get better look. They’re below the cut.

Some titles you’ll know, others you might not, but one thing’s for sure, by the end of the year you’ll think some of them rocked and the rest of them sucked. As to which films will go which way, I’ll let that be a pleasant surprise.

What? The world isn’t ending? HUZZAH!

At least not for us anyway, but Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Simon Pegg, Paddy Considine and Martin Freeman will still be facing the apocalypse in Pegg and Edgar Wright‘s finale to the Three Flavours Blood and Ice Cream Cornetto Trilogy – previously Shaun of the Dead and Hot uzz – , The World’s End. And they’ll be facing it with a grin and pint. The World’s End follows a group of friends on the most epic of pub crawls, only to have it interrupted by the world coming to end.

Pegg tweeted out the first official look at the movie, and its main cast, earlier today,

That’s a wrap. See you next year. #theworldsend twitter.com/simonpegg/stat…

We’re anxiously awaiting Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg‘s next film, The World’s End, their finale to the Blood and Ice Cream, Three Flavors, Cornetto trilogy. Not too long ago we finally learned the full cast, Martin Freeman being among the biggest names joining Pegg and of course, Nick Frost.

Today saw the release of a new teaser poster and it was announced we can expect the film in theatres on October 25th of the next year. It’s getting an earlier release on August 14th in the U.K. Those lucky bastards.

Synopsis:

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.

After much anticipation from fans world-wide, it looks like production will finally begin on the third film in what is affectionately known as the “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy – The World’s End.  The new project will bring back the same crew, with Edgar Wright in the director’s chair and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in starring roles.

While Shaun of the Dead took a stab at zombie flicks and Hot Fuzz toyed around with the action genre, The World’s End is expected to address the pertinent issues in… well, we’re not quite sure yet.

From the name, one could expect any number of similarly themed ideas, from alien invasion to post-apocalyptic to disaster film.  The plot summary, what little was given, is rather vague in presenting fans with the information they need to make that assessment.

Consider the following:

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.

So, we know it’s about drinking at least.  And 40-somethings.  Considering that Wright and Pegg wrote the script, it’s likely to be a mish-mosh of aliens, disasters and nuclear war all rolled into one.

Personally, I wasn’t a huge fan of the first two films, though they were certainly entertaining.  I am pretty eager to see what they manage to pull off this time around, however, and I’m guessing their cultish followers are as well.

Filming is expected to start this September with a likely release date (if everything goes according to schedule) of Spring 2013.

Thanks to slashfilm for the heads-up.

Dramatically revealed on Twitter earlier today is the first ever sneak peak at script for Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright‘s The World’s End. The film will the third in an almost, sorta, kind of trilogy with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, known as the Blood and Ice Cream series or sometimes the Cornetto trilogy.

What we can surmise from this big reveal is their second draft was finished on February 2nd. I know it’s written 5/2/12, but they’re weird and British and write things backwards. But whatever, the basic and really important thing to take away from this is, it’s happening people. We don’t know when, or how, or with whom but it is happening.
