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.

Promo Art For Snow White & The Huntsman

Here is a piece of promo art for Rupert Sander's Snow White And The Huntsman. Rupert's version is dark/gritty and has been attributed to the fantasy-style of Lord of The Rings. It's impressive cast includes Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Avengers, Red Dawn), Charlize Theron (Prometheus, Fury Road), Sam Claflin (Pirates 4), Noah Huntley, Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Attack The Block), Ray Winstone, Ian McShane (Deadwood), Bob Hoskins (Hook), Toby Jones (Captain America), Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes, Jack The Giant Killer) and Steven Graham (Snatch, Boardwalk Empire).

Peter Jackson Confirms That He Will Direct Tintin Sequel, Script Is Done

Originally when it was announced that Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg would be bringing Tintin to the screen it was envisioned as a trilogy. Spielberg would direct The Secret of The Unicorn while Jackson would handle the second film The Prisoners of The Sun. That was until Peter had to come in and replace Guillermo del Toro on the two Hobbit films. Leaving in question who would direct both sequels. Now there is word from Jackson (via ThePlaylist/THR) himself he will indeed start production on Prisoners when he wraps The Hobbit. He also adds that a script from Anthony Horowitz is done.

The sequel would combine the stories from both Prisoners of The Sun and The Seven Crystal Balls. It's unknown if either Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish would be contributing to the project's screenplay. It would mean that the earliest the film would start production is late 2013 or early 2014.

Anthony Horowitz Working On Tintin Sequel

Author Anthony Horowitz has announced he will be writing the script for the yet untitled Tintin sequel. Horowitz admits he expects he won't be the only writer working on the script. He also confirmed that the film would use elements from the books The Prisoners of The Sun and The Seven Crystal Balls. Previously Stephen Moffat (Coupling, Doctor Who) penned The Secret of The Unicorn then Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish also came in to work on it. I assume Cornish and Wright will return for writing duties. Currently Peter Jackson who is expected to direct the second Tintin film is working on the two Hobbit films which will likely tie him up until 2014. It's possible Jackson could allow another director or bring back Steven Spielberg to make the sequel then direct the third and final film.

FIRST LOOK: Joe Cornish's Attack The Block



Basement Jaxxx Scoring Attack The Block

Edgar Wright just spilled the beans on Basement Jaxxx's involvement with Joe Cornish's directorial debut Attack The Block. The science fiction action comedy will feature Nick Frost (Paul, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz) and focuses on a teen gang in South London defending their block from an alien invasion. Wright Tweeted about enjoying Basement Jaxxx's score for the science fiction comedy. Cornish is a good friend of Wright's and the two worked together on the script for Steven Spielberg's Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of The Unicorn. I love the work of Basement Jaxxx with their blending of British Hip-hop, Trip-hop, Bollywood and Electronic music.
