What Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright call "Three Flavours Cornetto" (aka The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy), started with Shaun of the Dead. It continued with Hott Fuzz, and will wrap up with the forthcoming The World's End. When a group of guys try to relive their youth and finish an epic pub crawl they couldn't finish 20 years before, they come to realize that their fates aren't the only one's on the line...humankind's fate is on the line. Check out the trailer!

Here's the storyline from IMDB:

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.

 

"How is this a trilogy", you ask?

Pegg and Wright have both said that the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy will be one horror (Shaun of the Dead), one action (Hot Fuzz) and one sci-fi (The World's End)

 

The movie will be out in theaters August 23rd...and it can't come fast enough!
