Director Edgar Wright Talks Ant-man; Says He Wanted to Make Scott Pilgrim and World’S End Before the Marvel Film
17 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With Iron Man 3 crossing the $1 billion mark at the box office today, Marvel is currently enjoying its status at the top of the superhero movie food chain. The studio has a full slate of films hitting theaters over the next couple of years as part of its Phase Two plans, culminating in The Avengers 2 in 2015. However, even with the prospect of Thor and Captain America sequels and Guardians of the Galaxy on the horizon, fans are still clamoring for more, more, more. The studio’s Phase Three is a giant question mark at the moment, with only one film firmly slated for release to kick off a new batch of superhero movies: Ant-Man. Director/co-writer Edgar Wright recently talked a bit about the film and why it’s taken so long to come to fruition, revealing that production will finally get underway next year. Hit the jump to read on. »

Simon Pegg Talks The World’S End, the Film’s Soundtrack, His Writing Process with Edgar Wright, Bringing Back the Cast from Shaun & Hot Fuzz, More
16 May 2013 10:35 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
When Shaun of the Dead hit theaters in 2004, audiences the world over were rocked by a brilliantly original, funny, and genuinely touching piece of filmmaking that just so happened to revolve around a zombie apocalypse. Writer/director Edgar Wright, co-writer/star Simon Pegg, and star Nick Frost reunited again in 2007 on the action comedy Hot Fuzz, this time working within the buddy cop format and again turning out something wholly unique and wildly entertaining. Wright, Pegg, and Frost have now teamed up for the final entry in their unofficial “Three Flavours” trilogy—this year’s The World’s End—and the pic promises to be another fantastic effort from the trio as it follows five childhood friends who happen upon dire circumstances as they make their way through a pub crawl. Steve recently spoke with Pegg for an interview in anticipation of the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, and »

Go Goa Gone Goes Home Unhappy
16 May 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Village Voice | See recent Village Voice news »
Most jokes don't translate very well in Go Goa Gone, a Bollywood horror comedy influenced by Shaun of the Dead. The creators clearly like Edgar Wright's galvanizing pastiche, but only vaguely know what kind of story they want to tell—and not at all how to tell it. The film starts out as a romantic comedy starring a trio of emotionally stunted bros: Hardik (Kunal Khemu), the over-confident horny one; Luv (Vir Das), the sad-sack nice guy; and Bunny (Anand Tiwari), the painfully shy nerd nobody cares about. On a mission to score, these three dudes travel to a remote island just off of Goa, and are subsequently attacked by zombies at an underground rave hosted by the Russian mafia. The manchildren get pitted against unyielding (but solicitous!) women and zombies, but bo »
Paramount Home Media to Distribute Found Footage Horror-Comedy Ghost Team One
16 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Fresh off its premiere at Slamdance, horror comedy Ghost Team One, directed by Ben Peyser and Scott Rutherford, has landed itself a worldwide distribution deal with Paramount Home Media Distribution.
Ghost Team One, which was produced by Flying Monkeys Entertainment and Foresight Entertainment, follows a pair of roommates who, after falling for a girl who believes their house is haunted by a vengeful madame, set out to make a documentary that ultimately uncovers not just a decades-old murder but a ghost that appears to be into them.
It’s certainly an original premise, with FilmThreat saying it “does for ghost films what Shaun of the Dead did for zombie films,” so color me intrigued. The film stars Carlos Santos, J.R. Villareal, Tony Cavalero, and Fernanda Romero and, if the stars align, might end up getting a theatrical release.
With luck this low-budget ghost story will help reinvigorate the dwindling found footage genre, »

Simon Pegg: How J.J. Abrams Inspired Him So Much On Star Trek Into Darkness That He Threw Up
16 May 2013 4:53 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Hollywood has no lack of famous Star Wars fans, but Simon Pegg has always been among the biggest, peppering his early work on Spaced and Shaun of the Dead with references to the original trilogy, and even going public with his story about confessing his Princess Leia crush to Carrie Fisher. So when Pegg was cast as Montgomery Scott, the engineer on the Starship Enterprise, in 2009's Star Trek, it seemed like an awkward place for a Star Wars nut to boldly go. As it turned out, it was just a preview of another, odder twist a few years down the road. Pegg swears he doesn't know what Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams is planning for Star Wars Episode VII, and he's even suggested that his role as Scotty takes him out of contention for a part in the Star Wars universe (I suspect he'll make his »
Simon Pegg: 'Tom Cruise emails me, I still get excited'
14 May 2013 9:47 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Simon Pegg has admitted that he still gets excited whenever he receives an email from Mission: Impossible co-star Tom Cruise.
The two actors appeared in the action film together and have since been in touch online.
"Tom Cruise emails me occasionally," Pegg told Total Film magazine.
He added: "It's not particularly weird if he emails me, because we're kind of colleagues, in a weird way. But I still get quite excited if I get an email from him. I tell Maureen, my wife, 'Tom Cruise is emailing!'"
The Shaun of the Dead star also recalled a moment when he came across Cruise's fandom during a car journey.
Pegg asked the American actor: "'This must be weird right?' And he just said 'No. I love it'. I don't know if I could give myself so entirely to something as he's done."

I, Frankenstein Comes Alive in New Motion Poster
14 May 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Writer/director Stuart Beattie's adaptation of Kevin Grievous' popular graphic novel 'I, Frankenstein' has been victim recently of the dreaded date bumping and has ended up with a January 2014 release. However, optimists out there will simply see the extended wait as a longer period of time to receive assets and marketing materials galore. Which begins today with a look at a new motion poster from the project featuring star Aaron Eckhart ('The Dark Knight'). Bill Nighy ('Shaun of the Dead'), Aden Young, Socratis Otto ('Gone'), Miranda Otto ('Locke and Key') and Yvonne Strahovski ('Dexter') also star.

Questions and Answers With Simon Pegg
13 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
English actor Simon Pegg has enough geek credits on his resume to earn a lifetime pass at Comic-Con. He's played an unwitting zombie fighter in "Shaun of the Dead," the best friend to an alien in "Paul" and will fight an army of blue-eyed somethings in this summer's "The World's End." It's Pegg's role as Scotty in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" films, however, that really endears him to the Hall H crowd.
Pegg returns this week as the wisecracking intergalactic mechanic in "Star Trek Into Darkness," the follow-up to 2009's immensely popular reboot of "Star Trek." As the crew of the Starship Enterprise faces a mysterious villain (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) hell-bent on destroying Starfleet, Scotty serves as the moral backbone of the team, not to mention its most persistent source of comic relief.
NextMovie caught up with Pegg ahead of the May 17 release of "Star Trek Into Darkness »

Edgar Wright Celebrates Shaun Of The Dead Anniversary With Behind-The-Scenes Photos
13 May 2013 12:07 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's crazy how time flies! It was ten years and two days ago that Shaun of the Dead, the zom-rom-com that launched Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to international acclaim, began its first day of shooting. To celebrate, Wright, who co-wrote and directed the sensational flick, is getting nostalgic and sharing behind-the-scenes shots from the film's production every day for the next several of weeks. You can follow the progress of these posts on his personal site, and below see some of the excerpts from his reveals so far. On the first day of shooting, Wright's crew tackled one of the film's most complicated setups, the long walk Shaun takes through his daily routine, oblivious to the zombies that have replaced his formerly lovely neighbors. Below you can see the shot list as well as an insert shot of the newspapers from just before the rise of zombies. »
Prepare for 'The World's End'
13 May 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
It's a good day for comedy, because we now have a trailer for The World's End, the new film from director Edgar Wright.
Yes, Wright and Simon Pegg are finally getting the band back together to make the final installment of the series that began with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, known as the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" because in each film, at some point one of the characters enjoys a particular flavor of Cornetto ice cream. In Shaun, it was red strawberry Cornetto, and in Hot Fuzz it was blue original Cornetto. In The World's End, it's green mint choc-chip, topped off with a whole lotta ale!
In The World's End, old friends reunite after 20 years to recapture their youth by completing a pub crawl that bested them as younger men. (If you think about it, the plot somewhat echoes Wright, Pegg and Nick Frost getting together to make this film. »

Edgar Wright is undead-blogging the making of Shaun of the Dead
11 May 2013 9:26 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Ten years ago today, Shaun of the Dead started its shoot. Today, director Edgar Wright started posting photos from the shoot at his blog, Edgar Wright Here, and he'll continue to do so, day by day, tracking the film's production: Let’s start with what we did on Day 1 of the shoot. Well how about the longest, most complicated steadicam shot of the film? (Turns out that the location that served as the exterior of Shaun’s house, with the convenience store around the corner, is very close to where I’m living at the moment in Wood Green. I might have to take a walk there soon.) So cool. Wright’s making-of blogging will continue “over the next month or two.” I’ll be tuning in. »

Go Goa Gone Movie Review
11 May 2013 8:07 AM, PDT | Bollyspice | See recent Bollyspice news »
The movie opens with a crazy hilarious song from Chiranjeevi’s Kondaveeti Donga (a Telugu version of Michael Jackson’s famous zombie video song ‘Thriller’) and that pretty much sets the mood of the entire movie. Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. give us our first zombie flick which we can be truly proud of in Go Goa Gone.
Like a true zom-com, Go Goa Gone doesn’t have a very particularly complex storyline. Hardik (Kunal Khemu) and Luv (Vir Das) two perpetual stoners hit rock bottom when one loses his job and the other his girlfriend. Looking for a break they both feel they deserve, Hardik and Luv join their third friend, the simpleton Bunny (Anand Tiwari of Jaago Re ad fame) to his business trip to Goa. Of course, their plan is simple. To get wasted on booze, drugs and girls. When they get invited to an exclusive rave »

The Best - and Worst - Movie Trailers of the Week
11 May 2013 | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
As someone who didn’t love Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, the fact that The World’s End nearly creeped into the top three definitely makes it a trailer to note, but this week brought us three other trailers that are so above and beyond that nothing else even had a shot. The Best Stuff 1. Captain Phillips This trailer played well on the big screen at CinemaCon and turns out it’s just as powerful on the computer. This first look at Captain Phillips wins big by going the story route, pulling you in with its wildly enthralling inciting incident and then upping the stakes from there by using a string of suspenseful footage set to a rip-roaring pace. October 11 really can’t come soon enough. 2. Ender’s Game Talk about being worth the...

Edgar Wright Reveals He Directed One Shot In ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
10 May 2013 1:08 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
This is why Twitter is awesome. Yesterday, “Shaun of the Dead” director Edgar Wright went to his account to reveal that he shot a scene in the upcoming “Star Trek Into Darkness,” the highly anticipated latest installation in the J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" reboot (read our review here). The uber-secretive Abrams might not be so happy, but it was inevitable that things were going to leak with the film already open in the U.K., only a week until its official U.S. release and reviews pouring in. Just enough to keep us enticed, but not enough to give away any plot points (or really any aspect of the film). This is within days of the release of the trailer for Wright’s latest “The World’s End.”We hear that the shot was in Klingon with Kirk (Chris Pine), Uhuru (Zoe Saldana), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and new villain John »
