New Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg Movie ‘The World’s End’ Starts Filming In September!

Well it looks like fans of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have a little something to look forward to today. Deadline is reporting that The World’s End will start filming in September for a spring 2013 release. Wright will direct the script that he co-wrote with Pegg, who will once again star alongside Nick Frost. This will be the third film collaboration between them, following Shawn of The Dead and Hot Fuzz. Here’s the log line for the flick:

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.

If this flick is anything like the last two movies they worked on together then I think we will all have something to look forward to come next spring, but what does this mean for Wright’s long-in-devlopment take on Marvel’s Ant-Man? It was just last week that Wright posted a cryptic tweet, along with a picture (seen below), on his twitter page that read, “Received this in the mail. What can it mean?” The tweet, as well as recent comments from  Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige led many, myself include, to believe that Ant-Man would be Wright’s next movie. Well, it would seem as though that is not the case and that the movie is still in-development. On the bright side, fans will get a new Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg movie, which is always a good thing.
