The highly anticipated and long-awaited conclusion to The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, looks to be getting closer to being realized.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost both updated on the project last year, first in June and then last month, with Frost’s December update suggesting that shooting could take place this year, and that he’s read a draft of the film already.
Edgar Wright, director of the film two films (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), tweeted a great picture of himself and Pegg, entitled ‘Hard at work…’, contemplating the impending end of the world.
Plot details, as expected, are being kept under wraps, but I think it’s a safe bet to assume that when it does come out – and its release is rumoured to be in 2014 – it will be almost beyond description in its awesomeness. And I’m sure fans of the first two films, as well as all of Pegg, Frost, and Wright’s other work, would agree.
The new picture is obviously just a bit of fun, but hopefully there’s not more to it than that. The blank slate in the image is naturally somewhat different to Frost talking about a finished first draft. Keep your fingers crossed that either a) the blankness is just a joke, and/or b) the drawing board is literally that – to start storyboarding. Because that would be so good if things are progressing nicely in that direction already. More as we get it. For now, enjoy a bit of Wright and Pegg comedy, clearly hard at work.
(With thanks to Collider for the heads up.)
