Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are all set to reprise their Shaun of the Dead roles, but the good news doesn’t end there.

After starring together in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (Shaun, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) for director Edgar Wright, it was wondered if and when the trio would work together again. Pegg has now confirmed that that time is now approaching, though the project is still in the early stages.

If you weren’t already super cerealously excited for the fast approaching fall and Halloween season, how’s this for a slice of fried gold.

Simon Pegg took to the Twitter to reveal that he and Nick Frost would be once again be playing the roles of Shaun and Ed from the 2004 hit Shaun of the Dead. The duo will reprise their roles for the Phineas and Ferb Halloween special.

We don’t often cover the latest casting announcements for a new Fox TV show, but when the actor being cast is the wonderful Nick Frost, star of movies like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, Paul, and Attack the Block, well, exceptions are made.

Frost has been cast in the lead role of Robert in an upcoming Fox comedy titled Sober Companion. In it he’ll play a charming lawyer and drunk, someone who’s smart and driven but also often inebriated…to the point where he falls flat on his face whilst in court. Because of his problems, Robert is assigned a sober companion named Jeremy (Justin Long), who will live with him for 90 days to try and help him get back on track. This means that Robert must avoid all of the things he loves doing in hopes of saving his career.

There aren’t many words that could effectively describe my level of excitement for The World’s End, the latest movie from director Edgar Wright featuring the tag team of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The movie completes the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, also known as the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, which began in 2004 with zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead (one of my all-time favorites) and continued with another favorite, 2007’s Hot Fuzz.

The movie follows Gary King (Pegg), a man who’s had trouble with the whole “life” thing and growing up since his high school days. When younger King and his friends—Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine), Oliver “O-Man” Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan)—attempted the Golden Mile, a 12-pub, 12-pint quest, but were unable to complete it. Now, 20 years later, he’s on a mission to reunite his friends and complete the task they failed two decades earlier. This is not an easy thing to accomplish as his friends all think rather poorly of King, but he finds a way to make it happen. The reunion goes somewhat smoothly for a bit (as smoothly as they could hope for, anyway), but a random encounter in one of the pubs uncovers some very strange happenings in the town of Newton Haven, and forces the friends to figure out what it is…and also how to get the hell out of there.

The World’s End has arrived; not the actual one (that was back in December 2012, so we were told), but the third and final movie in writer-director Edgar Wright and writer-star Simon Pegg‘s genre-bending and blending “Three Flavours Cornetto” trilogy – read my review here – that also includes Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

This past Tuesday, the soundtrack was made available was released on CD and MP3. As with his filmmaking contemporaries Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright plans out the various songs he intends to feature in his movies early in the pre-production stage and uses them to express the inner thoughts and emotions of his characters when dialogue simply won’t do the trick. In a recent interview with Indiewire, Wright went track by track on the World’s End O.S.T. and discussed the role each selected tune plays in the film’s narrative.

According to the director the songs that comprise the soundtrack were chosen specifically as a means of linking the character Gary, played by Pegg, to his fruitless pursuit of good times all the time in the face of middle age.
