Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite this fall for The World’s End, the third part of a trilogy, of sorts, they began with Shaun of the Dead and carried through with Hot Fuzz. Their latest is set against the backdrop of a pub crawl where a group of friends set out for the eponymous last stop on their trip but wind up in a battle for the human race’s future. In an interview with Empire, Wright dropped a few teasers…
The director labeled the upcoming film a sci-fi/comedy, going on to describe it as, “Social science-fiction. Look it up on Wikipedia and then bone up on John Christopher and John Wyndham.”
Christopher is a pseudonym for author Samuel Youd, who penned The Tripods. Wyndham, meanwhile, wrote The Day of the Triffids and The Midwich Cuckoos, which was turned into two The Village of the Damned films.
So, it appears an alien invasion element will be prominent in Wright’s film. The director does not reveal too much more. Follow this link to Empire and read on.
