6. The Third in the Pegg/Wright Three Flavour Cornetto Trilogy
The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (obviously a send up of the Three Colours trilogy god, I love these guys) is Pegg and Wrights promised series of films which are connected, quite ingeniously, by their reference to the popular ice cream treat, the Cornetto. In Shaun of the Dead, a red strawberry Cornetto was featured, referencing the films gorier elements. In Hot Fuzz, the classic original blue vanilla Cornetto was used to signify the action/buddy cop motif. In The Worlds End, apparently, well be gifted with the third and final reference: green mint choc chip. Signifying? My money is on Aliens. Make no mistake; The Worlds End is the film that each and every Pegg/Wright fan has been waiting patiently for. And now its on its way to being imminent. I will be there on day one and very likely on day two as well. For fans of the first two movies, this is our Return of the Jedi, our Return of the King. And I can barely contain my excitement.
