The World's End won't be released in the US until August 23rd, but Edgar Wright and the main cast will be at Comic-Con. While we'll have interviews and more content next week, Focus is kicking things off with two featurettes: One that focuses on director Edgar Wright and another that takes a look at the three movies in the Cornetto Trilogy.
“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 mate 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.”
Directed by Edgar Wright, The World's End stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike. The movie will be released in the US on August 23rd, while the UK release date has been changed to July 19th. Catch up on our recent coverage by visiting the following links:
