“

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

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the first synopsis for THE WORLD’S END, the conclusion of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost’s epic Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy. The film is set to start filming this September and follows the threesome’s cult classics Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz (as well as the sitcom Spaced). The World’s End will be directed by Wright, written by him and Pegg and star Pegg and Frost, as usual. It’s been a long time coming, over five years in fact, and it won’t be released until sometime in 2013, but The World’s End is something to get very, very excited about.

First official still from The World’s End
Seem quite appropriate to see this on the day of the supposed apocalypse. The third film in Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright & Nick Frost’s Blood & Ice Cream trilogy The World’s End is set for release on the 14th of August 2013 and follows five childhood friends (Pegg, Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan) reunite after twenty years to repeat a legendary pub crawl from their youth, returning to their hometown once again to attempt to reach the fabled pub The World’s End, but as the night wears on, the group begin to realise that the real struggle is “not just theirs but humankind’s”, and completing the crawl becomes the least of their worries. We can’t say that the middle-aged goth look is a good one for Pegg, but hopes for The World’s End are extremely high right now.
