Simon Pegg Says That The Final Installment In The ‘Three Flavours Cornetto’ Trilogy Could Arrive Next Year

Speaking to MTV News on the promotional campaign for ‘Paul’ Simon Pegg revealed that the final part of the ‘Three Flavours Cornetto’ trilogy, the series of insanely entertaining movies directed by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Nick Frost in the two lead roles, could be coming as early as next year:

“Edgar has coughed up that ['Scott Pilgrim'] furball and we’re now in the process of regurgitating ['Paul'], so Edgar and I are planning to get together in the next few months to start working on the next in the ‘Blood and Ice Cream’ series,” Pegg told us, adding that he hopes his good pal Frost will be “more involved in the creation of that.”

“We’re hoping — hoping, fingers crossed — maybe next year would be a good time to make it, even release it,” he said.

But don’t hold him to that time table. Pegg was quick to issue a warning: “We would like that in an ideal world, but it’s not a fact, nor should it be disseminated as such.” As he wisely points out, “On the Internet, you have a lot to answer for!”

‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’ are both two of my favourite films of the last decade, both thoroughly worthy of their cult classic status. I couldn’t be more excited by this film – In. Edgar. Wright. I. Trust!
