I’m a fan of Edgar Wright’s collaborations with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, so I’m very excited to see more of “The World’s End,” which will be in theaters August 23. The film, also starring Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, focuses on friends who are trying to complete an epic pub crawl while realizing that the world is in danger. Here’s more about the film:

“Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film following the successes “Shaun of the Dead” (2004) and “Hot Fuzz” (2007). 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 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 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.”

Two cool featurettes have been released, showing more about what is being called “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy” and Wright’s directorial process. You can take a look at both below the post. You can learn more about the film at its official site and Facebook page.
