Booze News: Pub crawl film coming from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost

The team that brought us Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are set to begin filming their third collaboration in September.  Once again, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will star, and Wright will direct from a script he co-wrote with Pegg.   

The World's End will tell the story about a pub crawl that may coincide with something larger.  Here's the description, as reported by Deadline.com:

20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood 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 home town 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.

As a huge fan of both Shaun and Fuzz, I can't wait.  If the previous two films are any indication, there will be laughs and boozing a'plenty.

Cheers,
