It’s hard to believe, but this summer will mark the third and final installment of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Cornetto Trilogy.  With two films as great as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz under their belt, it’s hard not to have high hopes for the third film, the appropriately titled The World’s End.

The first trailer looked fantastic, and now we have a new poster with the full cast, and I do believe this is the first time we get a peak at the female lead, played by Rosamund Pike.

If you haven’t read about the film yet, here’s its brand new synopsis.

The third installment of director Edgar Wright’s trilogy of comedies starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, 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.
It looks like a fantastic bit of apocalyptic crisis, and I cannot wait to cap off my summer with another Wright/Pegg/Frost jam.

The World’s End hits theaters in the US on August 23rd.
