The day fans have waited for is finally happening. The team who made Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz key parts of any nerd library are finally ready to work on the final part of their “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy” - The World’s End.

I mentioned earlier this month that the script was complete, but we now have official word (thanks to Deadline.com) that the film is ready to start production this September, with Edgar Wright directing and Simon Pegg & Nick Frost starring. As usual, Wright and Pegg collaborated on the script.

So what is The World’s End?  For years, all we’ve known is the title, which indicates some sort of devastating event - but with the prior scripts, we should have known that while the topics touched upon might be big, the focus would be small.  Now we have the official synopsis of the plot. Here goes…

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.
Sounds like this could be the most interesting film from the trio yet. Here's hoping for the best!
