The Cornetto Trilogy Trailer is online to promote ‘THE WORLD’S END’

I really hope this last film won’t be the last Pegg/Frost/Wright collaboration but they sure are billing the Cornetto Trilogy hard in this next trailer like it is the end of said “trilogy”. The only tie these three films have other than having the two main stars & the same director – unless you want to count the doom & an apocalyptic feel in all three – are essentially, cornetto (ice cream). Either way, watching this trailer that is 1/2 recollection of the previous two films, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, as well as a different trailer that you might not have seen.

Synopsis for ‘THE WORLD’S END’

Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film 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.

The World’s End opens in the UK on July 19 and in the US on August 23.
