Not to be confused with the Seth Rogen comedy This is the End, The World’s End is the third film in Edgar Wright‘s Blood-and-Ice-Cream Trilogy which includes such masterworks as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This final tongue-in-cheek installment finds Wright regulars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost alongside Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) as they set out to finish a pub crawl that they failed to finish 20 years prior.
As a massive, massive fan of Wright’s work, it would be hard to anticipate this one more and if it merely remains on par with his previous work, it will be sure to be the best comedy of the year. Take a look at the trailer and tell me if you’re laughing yet because I’m gonna wait for the theaters to be surprised by this one.
