10. The Core Premise
Details about The Worlds Ends plot have been slowly coming on for a while now. Basically, it runs as follows: 20 years after a failed attempt at an epic pub crawl (which culminates at The World's End), five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying it again. Its a simple premise but what shines through for me is how closely it reconciles with the reality of my generation.
Ive attempted a similar pub crawl myself, one which took me from Liverpool City Centre all the way to my home at the time in Liverpools student area, Smithdown Road (which is quite a trek, drunk and on foot). Ten pubs. 3 men. Mucho sick. Thats one reason Im so excited to see this film. It promises to relate to me and allow
me to relate to it. I cant be the only ex-binge drinking student on WhatCulture! can I? Of course, as per the usual Pegg/Wright hallmark, all is
clearly not what it seems. Im unbelievably curious; excited even to find out how they turn this core premise into something that resembles Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz.
