Simon Pegg/Nick Frost = Stephen Chow/Tat = PACKAGE DEAL by GibsonUSA	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:09:04 AM
Having only one of the two requires audiences to get half their ticket money back.

WHOOPSIE!!!!
World's End by Captain RawBeard	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:10:23 AM
I hope it is a Sci Fi based film, like Aliens invade an English town or something. Can't wait I am excited by both projects.

And had time to put up a (more) legit comment to boot.
so close, so very close... by nightmute	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:12:58 AM

YES! by BanAllFIRSTPosters	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:13:41 AM
Simon Pegg should be considered more of the standout performer over Ricky Gervais.

Fuck by DocBosch	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:18:58 AM
I have a feeling, for some reason, that this will be like an idea for a script I had. Two aimless slackers whobare no good at life find their calling and purpose when a world changing event occurs and their "motivated, career driven" peers can't deal with a post-apocalyptic existence. I say this because the title is similar (mine is " The Ends of the Earth") and because Shaun of the Dead was one of my inspiations.

Purgatori by Purgatori	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:24:28 AM
Frost and Wright were talking about the fact that the three of them were writing an alien invasion flick of some kind at Comicon in 06. So this must be it.
fuck fuck by DocBosch	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:25:21 AM
and just in case that's not the plot of this movie, I've just given away my idea to whoever sees this.
thanks doc.. by nightmute	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:28:20 AM
I'm going to steal your idea now and use it for my own nefarious ends. I will rename it The End of The World, or perhaps, The World Ends Forever, or This World is Ending. Hopefully, John Moore will direct it, with music by Marco Brambilla (love that guy's name). Got to get Kevin Bacon in there. Poor guy really tries, but never scores a hit. "Hollow Man is the one," says Kev. "Doh!" "Okay, Death Sentence will finally do it for me." "Doh!" We need to start a campaign. Save The Bacon.
What about Scott Pilgrim? by Massage...Bored	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:28:37 AM
Yeah!
hope its the boys killing McG by thinboyslim.	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:29:48 AM
they stalk that ripoff sucker all around the world through multiple genres that McG is ripping off, eventually slashing him to pieces in the front room of 23 Carleton Road Tufnell Park. talentless fuck gets what he deserves.

A Tribute to the Post-Apocalyptic???? by AdrianVeidt	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:31:51 AM
I would love to see them handle something Road Warrior style...
I believe..... by chuffsterUK	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:09:59 AM
.........At Worlds End is a US set Road Movie,co-starng Nick Frost. I'd like to see them remake Planes,Trains and Automobiles!
worlds end has to be a lovefest for disaster flicks. by logicalnoise01	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:10:29 AM
I predict there will be a charectar who just points out all the impossibilities of whatever disaster they are stricken with and then will die via headshot or something.
Captain RawBeard.... by oafius	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:13:56 AM
You could well be right there, i remember reading an interview back when Hot Fuzz was coming out. I can't remember what site/magazine it was, maybe Empire, but when the interviewer went into the office, there were stacks of alien invasion movies which Wright and Pegg had been watching. They suggested it could be research for the Third in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy? Whatever it is, it'll be of the same high standard that these guys have produced before, I'm sure. Can't wait!
DocBosch by BillyBatson	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:15:27 AM
I'm pretty sure that Douglas Adams' initial concept for what turned into the HitchHiker's Guide was called The Ends of the Earth. Not that this should in any way deter you, I just enjoy posting random bits of trivia that may or may not be entirely accurate.
Ugh by password.swordfish	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:18:48 AM
Can we retire the lame Ain't it (insert celebrity name here) News joke? It's done people. It might have been funny... once or twice. Just let it go. As for Wright and Pegg, I'll see anything these guys do together. Shaun and Hot Fuzz were sheer brilliance. I'm hoping for the sci-fi/invasion idea. That would be so tits.
Oafius by Captain RawBeard	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:41:57 AM
I remember that article/interview as well. Here's hoping it is the Sci Fi film they were talking about. Alien's Vs Pegg/Frost. Can't wait.
Love these guys by Rocklover79	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:08:28 AM
I'll see anything involving them, so this is good news to me.
Awesome by Hai Keeba	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:10:45 AM
I can't wait for anything these two come up with. A riff on alien invasion movies would be so great
Hey Pegg and Pals by Series7	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:37:01 AM
Why not just save us fans of yours. Which consist of the entirity of this web site and no more. And just go ahead and put yours movies straight to DVD over here. Lets face it Pegg, Americans just don't know/care who you are. So you'll probably make more money off just staight to DVD releases then wasting your time in theaters. I know I would have bought Hot Fuzz right away if it went straight to DVD. I mean we are trying to make you the British Ben Stiller, but it couldn't even power Run, Fat boy Run in the top ten opening weekend. Maybe with your next movie in the trailer just say something like. COME ON AMERICANS! Go see this movie in theaters! You all know you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead when you caught it on Comedy Central. It won't hurt you to come see this, we'll tone the British down a bit. That are put something like, Featuring Simon Pegg who is friends with Tyler Perry. OR better yet, just put Tyler Perry Presents: Whatever. I mean his movies make more in the opening weekend (not much after that though) then Pegg/Wright movies do. All I am saying is that America is dumb. And like Vern said, "It proves that people besides Judd Apatow can still make funny comedies sometimes"
Simon and Stephen Chow should be in a movie together by GibsonUSA	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:40:34 AM
Comedy/style/culture clash.
Sorry to burst your 'end of the world' bubbles by kingrobot	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:44:50 AM
but 'The Worlds End' is the name of a pub in Stroud Green Road in London. It's in the same neighbourhood as the location where Shaun of The Dead was filmed and is probably where Pegg and Edgar drink a the weekend. The pub theme plays an important part in both SOTD and Hot Fuzz. I see no reason why The Worlds End should be any different. Mark my words...
BillyBatson by DocBosch	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:10:36 PM
now that you mention it, that is where I got the title. I thought it was great and started thinking what I would do with an end of the world movie. And nightmute, go ahead, I'm sure it'll be brilliant.
Jon Ronson by Brendon	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:18:02 PM
Are there no Ronson readers out there fit to explain what that shape-changing lizard stuff was all about. Not this film, that's for sure. I too think the pub is what gave this film this working title. What's more, I think it's only a working title too. Expect any real title to be too much of a giveaway.
"we are trying to make you the British Ben Stiller" by Geekgasm	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:25:14 PM
Oh God, what a horrible thing to say about somebody. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Shaun in Space Fuzz! bloody perfect by pipergates	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:46:09 PM
these guys attacking Scifi is beyond amazing. Next i hope they get together with Rowan Atkinson and does Blackadder, the movie.
You already have a Lizardian in your White House by pipergates	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:50:43 PM
have you seen what Bush looks like when he gets mad? It's totally creepy and beyond plain evil. There's sites dedicated to documenting the invasion of the lizardians and they swear Bush is not human.
Shaun of the Dead...Beyond Thunderdome by SpyGuy	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:59:40 PM
Loving it already.
APATOW AND PEGG CAN FUCK OFF by random dude	Apr 3rd, 2008 01:07:13 PM
Most boring comedies in Universe are made with the help of these hacks.
"Haven't you ever taken a shortcut before?" by Sir Loin	Apr 3rd, 2008 02:22:32 PM
Whatever this film turns out to be, it won't be complete unless Pegg asks Frost that vital question to complete the trilogy!

Stop nagging, you shits. by Knuckleduster	Apr 3rd, 2008 04:18:17 PM
This is a site for movie geeks. If a new Wright/Pegg movie doesn't count as geek news, what does?
The World's End Pub by Captain RawBeard	Apr 3rd, 2008 05:34:03 PM
if the World's End is based about the Pub of the same name, I can see Pegg, Wright writing a comedy about an Alien invasion in a pub OR even have the pub literally being the World's End - or has a secret attic door to the end of the universe.
re: Simon Pegg/Nick Frost = Stephen Chow/Ta by Fuck The Napkin	Apr 3rd, 2008 06:00:20 PM
I sold Simon Pegg a copy of Shaolin Soccer in The Shepherds pub in Highgate many years ago. Well, swapped it for a pint of beer actually. Fascinating, huh?
The World's End by Lang The Cat	Apr 3rd, 2008 06:12:59 PM
This sounds like it could be a Michael Moorcock title with Jerry Cornelius. There was a film made quite a while back called the Final Programme. Moorcock does not seem like a choice for Edgar/Nick/Simon as he is a bit nihlistic, however it would be a film from their childhood that might excite them.
The World's End Pub by Lang The Cat	Apr 3rd, 2008 06:25:38 PM
I notice in Wikipedia it used to be called Mother Red Cap's. Red Caps are elven\gnomish members of the Unseelie Courts (bad elves), who dip their caps in the shattered skulls of their victims (turning their caps red from the blood). This might also be a cool story.
chuffsterUK by Monkey Butler	Apr 3rd, 2008 08:53:59 PM
Nah, you're thinking of a different movie that Frost and Pegg are developing together about a road-trip across the US.
by JohnIan	Apr 4th, 2008 12:09:01 AM
What I would like to see is their take on "The Mist". Not a parody, but an extention of that set universe. That would be entertaining.
Spaced...3 by NovaBlue	Apr 4th, 2008 02:46:32 AM
C'mon there has been alot of talk about a 1 hour spaced special buzzing around, id rather see this 1st than any more of their lesser funnier films
"Blain and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard?" by HarryBlackPotter	Apr 4th, 2008 02:51:59 AM
So, we've had horror, cops and robbers, now for the final part of the Blood & Icecream trilogy we get (surely) Sci-fi, albeit of the Jack Finney, apocalyptic kind. Maybe we're looking at a satire / swipe at scientology, or the New World Order, or maybe, with the mention of LIZARDS, we're either looking at a "V" invasion type movie, or a Godzilla / Cloverfield thing, but I reckon it's more likely gonna be a big piss take of those weird, weird theories that David Ike (ex goalkeeper, football commentator, son of god twice removed, total fucking lune) writes about: that George Bush, Tony Blair and the Royal Family are really descended from a race of lizards or some other bollocks and they're the puppet masters behind everthing from 9/11 to the Spice Girls reforming. Terrifying.
David Icke cameo? by ianlegend	Apr 4th, 2008 03:28:12 AM
I'd like to see Pegg and Wright pull that off for this film. And I don't mean because of his work on BBC (although it may - or may not - be controlled by lizard overlords).
whoops sorry Quint! by oafius	Apr 4th, 2008 04:38:38 AM
it was you who did the interview not empire! :\| apologies, knew id read it somewhere about the dvd stack.
