Nick Frost Says World's End Could Shoot In 2012

While fans of Shaun of The Dead (red) and Hot Fuzz (blue) have been wondering when World's End (green) the final chapter of the trilogy would be made. The film being mentioned as green themed which could means aliens or giant monsters (Godzilla inspired?). Nick Frost during the press tour for Tintin talked to ComingSoon and says that he's read a draft of the script and the movie could shoot as early as 2012.


"There is a draft out there, which I've read, and it's great, and I think our plan is to crack on and shoot next year. Touch wood. They move and they change but we definitely want to get on with it."

Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright; the three gentlemen involved have been developing their own careers since the release of Hot Fuzz. Pegg jumping into the Mission Impossible and newly rebooted Star Trek franchises. Frost kicking up more quirky roles in The Boat That Rocks, Attack The Block and Snow White And The Huntsman. Edgar Wright also gathering steam as both a director and screenwriter with Scott Pilgrim, Tintin and the forever in development Ant-Man for Marvel Studios.

Could Joe Cornish Direct Ant-Man?

We've been hearing lots of updates concerning the script of Marvel Studios' Ant-Man which is being written by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish. The pair previously worked together on Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of The Unicorn that's being produced by Peter Jackson. Last thing we heard is that the duo handed in a second draft which the studio seemed thrilled about. Now word from HitFix is that they're aren't finished the script leading us to believe that a third draft is currently being worked on. Joe also stated Edgar hasn't been announced as the official director and that he would leave all the announcements about the film to him [Wright]. Marvel Studios has neither announced a release date or even a director for the film.


I'm getting the feeling that Joe might be in a better position to direct Ant-Man than Edgar. Cornish is slowly gathering steam as a director with his cult film Attack The Block and unlike Wright doesn't have his plate full of projects. Marvel is notoriously cheap and would likely lock a director into a two picture deal. Something I feel could be too much for Wright who does as much producing as he does directing. Likely wanting the breathing room to make his passion projects such as Baby Driver, Them and World's End along with producing other things. Cornish was recently linked as a candidate to direct A Good Day To Die Hard the fifth film in the Die Hard franchise before John Moore was hired.
