Edgar Wright Reviews, Interviews & More
The biggest problem with a sequel to a successful comedy is that it's hard not to either disappoint, or basically remake the first film. Such is why The Hangover sequels have been so disappointing. Often, the best solution is to get the gang back together, but do something completely different. Here's out top ten list of films that brought back a lot of the same...
Yesterday, we showed you two new posters for Edgar Wright’s upcoming The World’s End, his third and final film in the loose Cornetto trilogy that also includes Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. And last week, we reported on the first international trailer for the film. Today, we can now see the full U.S. trailer for the...
In the first U.S. poster for Edgar Wright's The World's End, Simon Pegg raises a toast to, you guessed it, the end of the world. Along with this new one-sheet, Focus Features released another UK banner. The new posters feature Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, and offer the new slogan, "Barmageddon...
One of our most anticipated films of this year would have to be Edgar Wright’s The World's End, as it will be the third and final film in the director’s Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy (each film features a character eating one of the three flavors). First there was the horror comedy Shaun of the Dead, which found the director toying with the zombie...
It's about time that we're presented with yet another new poster for Edgar Wright's latest movie The World's End, only because there are a number of us who just want a new film by the writer/director. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World felt like it came out a decade ago so audiences are long overdue for another dose of Edgar Wright movie goodness.
There's been talk about an Ant-Man movie even before Marvel's The Avengers were shot. There were even some rumblings about putting the small superhero in the first formation of the group onscreen, since he was one of the founding members. Years later, Edgar Wright puts our minds at rest over the latest on his long-awaited superhero film....
Some friends get together and chat away with a cup of coffee in their hands or a plate of food in front of them. Gary King (Simon Pegg) would rather solidify the bonds of brotherhood through a massive pub crawl. Edgar Wright and company have finally dished out a couple more images for The World's End, and we're super happy to see them.
The first two film’s in Edgar Wright’s ‘Cornetto’ trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) have been wickedly funny satires of film genres that simultaneously become films of those genres (specifically, zombie films and buddy cop movies)—which is why we’re so excited for the third and final film of the trilogy, The World’s End. Little is known...
We've known for years that Edgar Wright was interested in doing Ant-Man, but until today we had no idea when he'd get to it. Marvel showed Wright's Ant-Man test footage at Comic-con this year, but there was no release date announced when Marvel listed their upcoming projects, and Wright is currently directing The World's...
Edgar Wright has quickly become one of our favorite director’s of the past decade, subverting and simultaneously paying tribute to genre filmmaking with such cult wonders as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. So it’s with no small degree of anticipation that we hum loudly and rock back and forth as we wait for his fourth film, The...
It's go time on Edgar Wright's latest The World's End, which we knew would star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But who else is in this cast? Not only does Wright have an eye for talent, he's been great at getting some of England's best in his previous movies. As it turns out, he's added some ringers.
OK—The Avengers 2 officially has a writer/director (Joss Whedon is coming back), and even an official release date, so it’s now time begin our official three-year campaign of baseless speculation and irresponsible rumor-mongering concerning the making of the highly anticipated sequel. First up: Vin Diesel may star as the Avenger known as Vision. Let that one sink in for a...
Edgar Wright is a busy, busy man of late. In addition to recently announcing that he would direct the final entry in his Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy (The World’s End) as well as Marvel’s Ant-Man project, it was leaked today that Wright will also helm the J.J. Abrams’ mysterious (is there any other kind of Abrams project?) new sci-fi film,...
In case you hadn’t heard, Marvel Studios is pretty well set to dominate the world box office for the next several years, seeing as they plan on releasing two films a year from now until at least 2015—The Avengers 2, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more. And now it seems that one smaller (pardon the pun) Marvel film might be wedged...
Edgar Wright has directed some of the best and most entertaining cult films of the past decade—Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and news broke today that he’s officially set to make yet another: The World’s End. Not only did the film just get green-lit by Universal, today, it got a teaser poster as well.
For those who have been wondering exactly what the deal is with Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man, look no further: Wright spent a week earlier this month “shooting footage for a reel that will be used to test out the potential look and tone of his movie, as well as to decide how convincing Ant-Man’s powers look on screen.” Ooh, curious now? Read on for...
With all the recent (and not so recent) hints and speculation about his proposed superhero film Ant-Man, it seems Edgar Wright has finally put us straight on the matter - sort of - by announcing that he hopes to start shooting the film this year. The project has long been in development from the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Shaun of the Dead director, and...
Film fans have been anticipating this for years, and now it’s finally happening! Edgar Wright is set to direct The World’s End, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as the third film in the “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy” (also been referred to as the “The Three Flavors Cornetto” trilogy, with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz being the first two entries)....
Though Edgar Wright has recently tweeted about working on his third movie with Simon Pegg (and Nick Frost), it appears he may be sidetracked from that. Deadline Hollywood announced that he's going to be helming The Night Stalker, starring Johnny Depp. It's a project Depp had set up with Disney, but there was no one attached to direct until now. As Deadline notes, it...
Post-Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, we haven't heard much of what Edgar Wright has been up to. Sure, he's hosted a couple of festivals at The New Beverly in Los Angeles, but other than rumors of Ant-Man, nothing. So yesterday on Twitter, Wright laid out what looks to be his next project: The World's End. For those in the know, that's the...
