'The World's End' Gets New Posters... And I Am getting More Excited By The Day!!!!

I am eagerly anticipating the release of the latest Nick Frost/Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright collaboration... literally gonna be one of the best moments of my cinematic summer. But I am getting even more excited when I see the newest promotional materials being issued for the movie. I am getting a very spacey, galactic feel to these pics... and that plays into the alien twist that has been rumored to plague the protagonists, who are on a quest to complete a 12 bar pub crawl that they had failed on when they were younger. With Frost & Pegg leading the charge and Wright behind the camera, I am in. These guys never disappointed me before... why think different now? Check out the new posters after the jump...

 

New Images From 'The World's End' Have Me Even More Excited For The Return Of Wright/Pegg/Frost!!!

Ever since I saw the pure genius that was Shaun of the Dead, I knew that I was going to be a forever fan of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost. The movie was pure perfection, and truth be told there hasn't been much that the three have done since (either as a team or solo) that I haven't enjoyed. They have all branched out to do great stuff, but a chance at getting them back together now that they have reached such great heights in their career is a dream for a fan like me. It looks like I will be getting my wish this year with The World's End, the third chapter in the 'Blood & Ice Cream' trilogy started by Shaun & Hot Fuzz. The movie is top secret, but it revolves around a reunion of 5 high school buddies who started out on a bar crawl through their town bars (there are 12) years ago and only got through 9 of them. Now adults, they plan on tackling the circuit of pubs once again. They plan on culminating the lifelong journey at a pub called The World's End. Only something seems to get in the way... something like aliens perhaps... or another major world ending threat... yeah, shit gets real! With an excellent supporting cast joining Frost & Pegg (Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan) and Wright behind the lens, I am in. The film comes out here in the States in October, but take a look at the 1st movie poster and four stills from the film to wet your beak a bit after the jump...

 

Shaun of the Dead: Lego-ized & Stylized

Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies of the past decade. I loved that freaking movie so much it hurts. It also helped introduce the world to actors Nick Frost & Simon Pegg, and director Edgar Wright. So how cool is it to come across a re-creation of the tavern in the film, The Winchester, made entirely of Legos? Pretty fucking cool... lol. Not only can you enjoy many detailed pics after the jump, but you can also learn how to create the set itself by clicking on this step by step website. I gotta think about putting my utter hatred for assembling Legos myself aside and make this display for my home office. I really might. Enjoy the pics after the jump...

How cool is this comparison shot:

Finally!!!! A Teaser Poster & Film Synopsis For Edgar Wright's 'The World's End'

As the self proclaimed "World's Biggest Edgar Wright Fan" I have been eagerly awaiting the third installment in his Blood & Ice Cream trilogy with Simon Pegg & Nick Frost. Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz are two of my all time favorite flicks of all time. So obviously I am super excited to see what they have in store for us in 'The World's End'... and now we have a teaser poster & synopsis for the movie. Holy fucking shit, this one sounds epic. Check out the poster & synopsis after the jump...

First the synopsis:

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 mate Gary King, 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.

Now the poster:

Clearly these ridiculous titles that occupy the majority of the poster are the names of the English Pubs that the gang will try to hit up on this epic bar crawl. We shall soon see. But between this and the epic Ant Man footage that I heard about from this years Comic Con (as soon as it leaks online I am posting it!) it looks like 2013 is gonna be a great year for Mr. Wright & the boys.  I for one can't fucking wait!!!!!

Shaun of the Dead Movie Poster by William Henry

Shaun of the Dead is one of my all time favorite flicks. Edgar Wright killed it. So did Simon Pegg & Nick Frost. Anytime I see a new take on artwork for the film, I am going to get excited and probably post it here on CCD. Why? Because I can... and because Shaun of the Dead is just rad enough to warrant constant posts... Catch the full size poster from William Henry after the jump...
