Sunday Movie Matinee
The Cornetto Trilogy
For those of you who are unaware, there is a film out currently that is the third installment of a cinematic trilogy. However, it does not have a roman numeral, or a 3, or even a designating subtitle in its name. It is called The World's End and it is the completion of the Cornetto Trilogy.
The creative team of Edgar Wright (Director), Simon Pegg (writer/actor), and Nick Frost (writer/actor) have known each other for a long time and have collaborated on some of the funniest films of the last decade. The films in question are of course Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the aforementioned The World's End. They do not tell a continuous story, or relate in any wayto each other besides returning actors, a kinetic style of film-making and a love of the European ice cream brand Cornetto.
