Rosamund Pike Heads For Edgar Wright’s The World’s End

August 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Last month it was annouced that director Edgar Wright’s The World’s End has finally got the green light, reuniting the director with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Now the Daily Mail has revealed that Rosamund Pike has joined the cast.

This will be the final installment in Pegg, Frost and Wright’s Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy, folloing 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz. The story revolves around five friends who reunite 20 years after an epic pub crawl, when one of the friends decides to recreate the event. However they soon realise that their goal of reaching the bar known as The World’s End is the last of their worries. It isn’t known what role Rosamund Pike will play.

Edgar Wright is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Pegg. Filming will begin next month in the UK.

Simon Pegg Joins Hector & The Search for Happiness

May 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actor Simon Pegg has closed a deal to star in the wordily titled Hector and the Search for Happiness, for Serendipity and Shall We Dance director Peter Chelsom, according to Variety.

Tinker Lindsay and Chelsom are adapting the Francis Lelord novel, which centres on a London psychiatrist, who goes on a global quest when his patients can’t find happiness.

The British born Peter Chelsom commented, “I’ve been searching long and hard for a film that would bring me back to my European sensibilities. Not unlike Being There and Forrest Gump, Hector is a contemporary love story, a fable wrapped around a very human hero’s journey. Nobody does the innocent abroad better than Simon Pegg: he is not only a brilliant comedian but a very touching actor. He is the Hector that you want to follow to the ends of the earth.”

It’s not certain exactly when the movie might shoot.

Pegg & Wright’s World’s End Aims For September Shoot

May 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a couple years now Edgar Write and Simon Pegg have been teasing fans with hints about a film called The World’s End. We knew they were writing it, but there’s been precious little firm news. However now that the script is complete, it’s been revealed things are moving forward, with a September shoot planned and a release tentatively set for spring 2013.

The film will conclude the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy), following Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz. Edgar Wright will once again direct Pegg and his longtime on-screen companion Nick Frost.

Here is the official synopsis, ’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.’

Once Edgar Wright is finished with The World’s End, he will move directly into The Night Stalker, a big screen adaptation of the cult TV series, which is set to star Johnny Depp as Kolchak, a Chicago newspaper reporter who stumbles into stories based in the Supernatural.

A Fantastic Fear Of Everything Poster – Simon Pegg gets scared in his underpants

May 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A fun new poster has debuted over at Empire for Simon Pegg’s new comedy A Fantastic Fear of Everything. In the movie Jack (Pegg) is a children’s author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a lifeline by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his big break rapidly turns into his big breakdown, as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons; among them his love life, his laundry and the origin of all fear. The film’s due out June 8th.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (DVD)

April 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Michael Nyqvist
Director: Brad Bird
Running Time: 128 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: April 30th, 2012

Tom Cruise hasn’t had a great run recently. Mission: Impossible II in 2006 was his last bona fide hit, so it’s not surprising that he was keen to return to the franchise in the hope of keeping his star shining. What’s perhaps more surprising is that it works, as this well be the best Mission yet.

Ethan Hunt is called up for a new job – breaking into the heavily fortified Kremlin in order to retrieve some information. However after having failed to get what he went in there for, the building is destroyed in a devastating explosion. The agent quickly realises that he’s been set-up so that someone else could steal sensitive info from the Russians, destroy the building and then having everything blamed on Hunt and his team. The frame job has worked though, as the IMF is being shut down and Hunt and his crew disavowed. [Read more…]

A Fantastic Fear of Everything Trailer

April 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It seems Simon Pegg and director Crispian Mills (who some may remember as the lead singer of Kula Shaker) are trying to channel a bit of Wes Anderson style qurkiness with A Fantastic Fear Of Everything, or at least it would appear so from this trailer. Jack (Pegg) is a children’s author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a lifeline by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his big break rapidly turns into his big breakdown, as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons; among them his love life, his laundry and the origin of all fear.

Benicio Del Toro Wanted For Star Trek 2

November 7, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

It may have taken them quite a while to get Star Trek 2 sorted, but things finally seem to be moving forwards on the movie, with JJ Abrams once more at the helm. Now it appears Abrams has decided who he wants as the villain, as Variety reports he’s met Benicio Del Toro about the role.

A formal offer has not been made to the actor, but Abrams and Del Toro have had a meeting and it is believed Paramount will issue the offer very soon. Abrams, who’s well known for being secretive, is said to be being so cagey about the villainous part, he wouldn’t even tell Benicio what it was when they met.

Shooting is scheduled to start in early 2012, with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Anton Yelchin all expected to return.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Trailer

October 31, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Did Tom Cruise blow up the Kremlin? I wouldn’t put it past him, but in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, he’s back as Ethan Hunt, and he and three other IMF members are framed for blowing up a big chunk of Moscow, and must go rogue in order to prove their innocence! As this trailer shows, it’s all action and Tom Cruise doing his stupid and much mocked running, and at least this admits there are other people in the movie than Cruise! The film’s out in the UK on December 26th.
