8. The Genre Twist
As unbelievably huge and influential geeks themselves, its no real surprise that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, when they get together, love to make genre pictures with a twist. Shaun of the Dead was their Zombie flick; Hot Fuzz was their buddy actioner; hell, Spaced was so littered with pop culture references that it in itself acted as a sort of a genre smorgasbord. Like Tapas for the soul. So, that leads me to inquire, what genre will they send up with Worlds End? If you ask me, were looking at an alien invasion/ disaster movie, a la War of the Worlds, but obviously with that signature Pegg/Wright twist thrown in; the cast of characters will probably be too self-involved and too drunk to even notice it happening around them, with disastrous and hilariously British consequences. Of course I dont know for sure, but I'll tell you one thing: I'll be among the first in theatre to find out.
