ALONE, from Argentine director Adrian Garcia Bogliano (the madman behind the incredible ROOMS FOR TOURISTS), is an extreme rape revenge thriller in which a gaggle of femme victims travel to a small town in the La Plata region to exact bloody vengeance.
The film starts 20 years after five childhood friends attempted an epic pub crawl. The friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent 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 home town 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.
Here’s the official U.S. poster for The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright’s new movie that stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan.
In theaters August 23 2013, “20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again.

The teaser trailer just hit for The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright’s new movie that stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan. While this definitely feels more like a teaser than a full trailer – it still introduces a host of crazy sh*t like humanoid blue-eyed aliens along with some giant insect looking guys. Getting a strong Stephen King meets John Carpenter vibe from this one. I also dig that the fence gag is back! This film will complete Wright and Pegg’s Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.

We’ve got a couple of new images from The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead and Hit Fuzz director Edgar Wright’s new movie that stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan.
The images (screen-grabs from a promo clip) sort of reveal Simon Pegg’s character to be the wild ringleader of the group, definitely holding onto “the cigarette end of his teens” as described in the synopsis. I know this is a slight update, but I’m just incredibly excited for this movie. To make it up to you – you can watch about 4 seconds of the movie below (in two small chunks during a minute-long summer presentation reel – your choice).

The still depicts the cast strolling around town. I’m expecting this to be a dialogue heavy film (not that I’m complaining).

I couldn’t be more excited for The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright’s new movie starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan. From its’ Stephen King-like premise to the cast to the fact that Wright has never let me down. And now, it’s hitting a full two months earlier with a new release date of August 23rd (up from October 25th).
In the film, “20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again.

Yes, August 23rd is also the same weekend You’re Next comes out. Please save your money and see both films folks, you won’t regret it (at least I doubt you’ll regret it with World’s End – since I haven’t seen it yet).
Two new images have surfaced from The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright’s new movie that stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan. What interesting about the stills are that they have a very gritty and dark look, which is unique for a Wright film.

Remember that day they said the world was going to end? Yeah, well, it didn’t happen. Thus, we can look forward to a year of movies about the end of the world actually happening.

Musicvideo and commercials helmer Anthony Mandler is attached to direct Lionsgate’s Dead of Winter, a Black List thriller written by tyro scribe Sarah Conradt that has Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) attached to star, reports Variety from a scoop right here on Bloody Disgusting back in February. “Steinfeld is slated to play a teen who heads to a remote cabin in the mountains with her father and new stepmother — an experience he hopes will bring the two ladies closer together. When a dangerous fugitive posing as a park ranger shows up, the trio must put aside the family bonding to fight for survival.” Producers are aiming for an early 2013 start date.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Rosamund Pike (Doom, Wrath of the Titans, Die Another Day) has joined The World’s End alongside Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Jonathan Daniel Brown, one of the breakout stars of Project X, is joining the cast of the New Artists Alliance’s horror comedy Milo, says THR. Ken Marino, Gillian Jacobs and Peter Stormare make up the cast of the pic, which “Centers on a man (Marino) with intense stomach trouble who learns to his horror that he has a demon living in his intestines. When he gives it permission to come out during a therapy session, the man names it Milo and tries to live a life in which he, not his demon, is in charge.” Brown will play an intern who works for Marino. Jacob Vaughan is making his directorial debut on the pic, which the Duplass brothers are exec producing.
Collider has some of the most pointless news of the week as they confirmed with Paramount that their long-delayed Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 3D, in theaters January 11, 2013, will in fact be rated “R”. The original take on the classic fairytale, starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, is set 15 years after the siblings killed the witch who kidnapped them. Hansel and Gretel have now evolved into bounty hunters who pursue witches.
Bait 3D now has a Dutch poster. It will arrive September 18 on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack from Anchor Bay. “This 3D thriller tells the story of a group of survivors in a sleepy beach town who suddenly find themselves trapped inside a submerged supermarket, following a freak tsunami.” Xavier Samuel, Sharni Vinson (You’re Next), Alex Russell (Chronicle), and Julian McMahon star.

Universal Pictures has officially green lit The World’s End, the third film in director Edgar Wright’s trilogy of comedies with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost that began with 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz. Deadline shares the following teaser poster that premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con Friday.
“The film starts 20 years after five childhood friends attempted an epic pub crawl. The friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent 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 home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World’s End.

Empire recently caught up with Shaun of the Dead director and star, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, respectively, who opened up about the end of their genre comedy trilogy, The World’s End, which will reunite the two once again.
“20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent 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 home town 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.”
Zeroing in on the story, Pegg tells mag that the movie involves “a crawl through twelve pubs, culminating in the final one, which is The World’s End.” With Wright adding, “This is as much about where you grew up as the people you grew up with…it’s also very silly. I would say it’s darker, more personal and more silly.”
The film itself is said to be a “social sci-fi comedy,” says Pegg. “Social science-fiction,” agrees Wright. “Look it up on Wikipedia and then bone up on John Christopher (‘The Tripods’) and John Wyndham (‘The Day Of The Triffids’).”
Watch for the end of the world in 2013.
Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) is one of my favorite directors, so of course I’ve been waiting for The World’s End for quite a while. Co-written by Wright and Simon Pegg (Shaun, Star Trek,) it’s the third installment in their “Blood and Ice-Cream Trilogy” aka “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy” (the first two installments were Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz – both of which featured a lot of blood and a little cornetto). Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun, Attack The Block) stars as well.
Wright will start shooting the film in September for Working Title / Universal. Per Deadline, “Working Title and Edgar Wright have set a September start date for The World’s End, the last in a trilogy of comedies that started with Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz. Wright, who’ll direct, wrote the script with Simon Pegg. Once again, Pegg stars with Nick Frost. Universal Pictures hasn’t yet green lit the film, but is expected to after the modestly budgeted pair of comedies grossed $108 million worldwide between them. The plan is for The World’s End to reach theaters in spring, 2013.”
In the film, “20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent 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 home town 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.”
Sounds kind of like Stephen King’s “IT”, only with beer instead of Pennywise. Stay tuned for more.
