It’s been a great couple of weeks for movie trailers. Literally the day after I posted my Top Ten Tantalising Trailers article the White House Down trailer arrived and it promises some great action with a sense of humour. It looks more likeable than Olympus has Fallen and exactly like the Die Hard in the White House it will clearly be known as.
Today’s release of The World’s End trailer has really excited me. I love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and the end of the “Cornetto Trilogy” is both exciting and a little sad. The trailer for the final part looks very funny – a group of friends return to their hometown to complete a legendary pub crawl but discover that all is not as it should be. There is a definite bodysnatchers vibe about this trailer – and the best part is yet another fence jump.
The World’s End is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan and is released in the UK on 19th July.
I generally like Edgar Wright’s movies and I definitely would watch this just for the cast!
The cast is great, and there’s apparently going to be lots of familiar faces popping up in cameos. Three years on we’ll be watching the DVD saying “I hadn’t realised *he* was in it…
Have you seen this yet Louise? What did you think?
I liked it a lot – but it didn’t match up to either Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz. You know I’ll still buy it as soo as it’s out on DVD/Blu-Ray and watch it a million times though. And every time it’s on ITV3….
