In less than a year, Edgar Wright will release a new film on March 17, 2017!
Baby Driver, a crime comedy film. Not a Cornetto Trilogy film, but probably in the same vein. Since it won't star Pegg and Frost this time (still hoping for a cameo though!), Edgar Wright built an all-star cast, with Jon Hamm (!), Jamie Foxx (!!) and even Jon Bernthal (!!!).
While the Cornetto Trilogy films were all more or less inspired by episodes of Spaced, this film is actually taking inspiration from a music video Edgar Wright directed for the band Mint Royale's Blue Song.
In anticipation for the movie trailer, which shouldn't be long, check out the song:
Not only is this song fantastic, but the video clip itself is pure Edgar Wright-style! I love it!
I haven't done one of these in a really long while.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about films. And watching a tone of movies too. So while I'm at it - here's a quick list of some of my all-time favorite film directors!
After the Night, the Dawn and the Day.. the Dead have now taken over our Land! ... That's all I could come up with, sorry. The title doesn't have as good a ring to it as past films, granted. But it was definitively another decent entry in the series.
When there's no more room in HELL, these reviews will walk the BLOG:
We take Pete's car, go round Mum's, go in, deal with Philip - "Sorry, Philip!" - grab Mum, go to Liz's, pick her up, bring her back here, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Perfect!
More reviews from Edgar Wright and his Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy below!
For those not following, the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb's been pretty good at making references and featuring guest stars. There was a fairly decent Star Wars episode long ago (to make Disney's debut reign with the franchise, no doubt).
Here's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reprising their roles from Shaun of the Dead in the new Phineas and Ferb upcoming zombie-centric Halloween special episode:
Here's a quick look at Marvel's upcoming plans for their next films:
Iron Man 3was just released, next up is Thor: The Dark World. Directed by Alan Taylor and aimed for a Nobember 8 release date.
Personally I'm not expecting much out of this one. Even the trailer left me... uninterested. I mean, sure, "Hollywood, blabla, lots of special effects, explosions, yaddayadda, sequel" etc.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor is the only fun aspect of this film. The plot sounds like "more of the same, if you enjoyed the first one", amped up.
Next year will start with another sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Yep, this "Phase 2" is seriously lacking some new ideas.
It will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo this time, for an April 4, 2014 release.
They really should have kept Joe Johnston on board and let him do his Winter Soldier movie properly instead... Not really feeling this serious lack of a competent veteran director attached to all these movies. Robert Downey & co are really costing way too much for the studio, so they're cutting the budget elsewhere.
Speaking of new proprieties, at least we'll have James Gunn's take on the Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1 next year.
I honestly really wasn't feeling this one so far, but with Gunn on board it has potential to turn into a really fun good Green Lantern-like film.
Finally, with all these films down, it will be the time to get a second AVENGERS movie.
While the first film almost featured the Skrulls Invasion yet ended up using Loki and some generic aliens, it appears Avengers 2 is also going through a similar unexpected change. It was going to deal with Thanos at first, after the hint at the end of the first one and see the incorporation of the Guardians Galaxy's mythos after their own film.
But instead, it will now revolved around Ultrom!!
Joss Whedon just announced and officialized the title, it will be released on May 1, in 2015!
So... yay! This means Ant-Man!!
Avengers: Age of Ultron will see the debut of Ant-Man.. to be continued upon and expanded during Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three with the first film being Ant-Man on November 6, 2015 (some months after Avengers!), by Edgar Wright!
I can't say enough how much I'm waiting to be there, in 2015. I mean, finally, some fresh new ideas!
Tired of endless Scott Pilgrim related news?!
Well fear not cause..oh..oops..no... You'll have something to fear again...

It seems like Edgar Wright and his team got pretty creative with their brand new trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World... with this interactive Trailer!
