Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg working on third film

The writing/directing/acting team that brought us the brilliant Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are currently working on the third film in their "Cornetto trilogy".

As everyone who's seen the film knows, these guys are seriously funny and any film that they're working on is gonna be worth checking out. They announced that the name of the new film is gonna probably be The World's End and will be in the whole sci-fi/apocalyptic genre of films.

The previous two films did a wonderful job of spoofing their respective genres, horror and cop films, and this one should be no different. The trilogy is supposedly named after Wright's favorite ice cream snack, the Cornetto and is an homage to Krzysztof Kieslowski and his Three Colors series. The food has made cameos in each of the previous films. In Shaun, the Cornetto was red (strawberry I think) to symbolize blood. In Hot Fuzz, the Cornetto was blue (vanilla) to symbolize the police force. The Cornetto in the next film will supposedly be mint chocolate chip flavored - can't wait to hear the significance behind that one!
