Writer-Director Edgar Wright‘s forthcoming film The World’s End, which was penned by he and Simon Pegg, and will star Pegg and Nick Frost, has been greenlit by Universal Pictures. The World’s End is the third film in Wright and Pegg’s Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy (the first two being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz).

The film starts 20 years after five childhood friends attempted an epic pub crawl. The 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 hometown 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.
