Edgar Wright to start World's End filming in September
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have released the first synopsis for The World's End, the closing part of their 'Cornetto Trilogy'.
The British pair, who first worked together on Channel 4 sitcom Spaced, have since found huge success in Hollywood but will reunite for a new comedy about friendships - and pubs.
According to Deadline.com, Working Title and Wright plan to start production in September, with Pegg and Nick Frost starring.
After delighting audiences with their superb 'romzomcom' Shaun of the Dead and the action-packed Hot Fuzz, the creative partners began work on The World's End in January, Wright revealed on Twitter.
Here's the official synopsis for The World's End, likely to hit cinemas in spring 2013;
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.
