With The World’s End, Edgar Wright will finish out his much beloved blood and ice cream trilogy that started with Shaun of the Dead and followed up Hot Fuzz. As one would expect, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will return as a pair of Brits palling around. This time though, instead of fighting off zombies or busting suburban crime as buddy-cops, they’ll witness the end of the world in the midst of a legendary pub crawl.
I’ve been a massive fan of the trilogy so far and The World’s End has been one of my most anticipated pictures of the year. the comedic pairing of Frost and Pegg under the direction of Wright is just a combination made in heaven.

The World’s End is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike. It comes to theaters on August 23.
