On Friday the 24th of November, filmgoers wrapped up tight and lined the cold streets of Leicester Square to see a new and exciting, Great British action film. It would go on to make 350 million dollars worldwide. But enough about ‘Goldeneye’.

Just around the corner from the Odeon Leicester Square you could have found a 21 year old me nervously introducing my debut feature that very night at the Prince Charles Cinema. My movie, shot on 16mm and 78 minutes in length, was ‘A Fistful Of Fingers’. At the time I was pretty broke and could barely afford my travel card to get in. But I want to thank anyone that did choose my silly opus over James Bond that weekend as it truly gave me a break into this industry. The film was warmly received by some (Time Out, The Evening Standard) and savaged by others (Empire, The Guardian), but I owe my career to these zero budget antics in the Somerset countryside.

That night I was so anxious about the opening night response that I decided to pace around the foyer instead of watching the movie. I started chatting up the usher, Donna, and we later went on a date to see the romantic comedy ‘Seven’. So imagine my delight when the Prince Charles Cinema contacted me about the idea of creating a 20th anniversary event in honour of me asking out Donna The Usher.

Please get down to the world famous PCC and see my debut feature ‘A Fistful Of Fingers’ on the big screen again. I truly believe that with your help we could still beat ‘Goldeneye’s total box office.

“Very ambitious. Great fun, innovative action…If you’re not already an Edgar Wright fan get ready to become one.” ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

“Fantastic. So funny, so insane.” JUDD APATOW

“The World’s End is hilarious, exciting and unexpectedly moving.” JOSS WHEDON

Prepare for the wildest of all reunions, as the creators of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’ reunite for the epic conclusion to Britain’s best loved trilogy. From SIMON PEGG, NICK FROST and director EDGAR WRIGHT comes an explosive thrill ride of action and hilarious comedy in THE WORLD’S END – released on Blu-ray™ and DVD - both with UltraViolet™ - and digital download from 25th November [UK & Eire], 2013. Now fans can truly watch The World’s End anywhere, on any device!

The latest instalment in the laugh-out-loud trilogy features the ultimate reunion - one night, five friends, twelve bars and a bid to reach the final ‘Worlds End’ pub…only the strongest will survive. Joining the all-star cast for their most exciting and adrenaline fuelled experience yet are Martin Freeman (Love Actually, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), Rosamund Pike (Die Another Day, Wrath of the Titans), Paddy Considine (Tyrannosaur, The Bourne Ultimatum), Eddie Marsan (Hancock, Sherlock Holmes) Pierce Bronson (James Bond, Mamma Mia!) and Bill Nighy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz).

Having devoted his entire life to partying, Gary King (Pegg) is determined to fulfil his lifelong dream of completing ‘the golden mile’, a legendary drinking marathon in his home town of Newton Haven. Using dirty tactics, Gary manages to convince his four childhood best friends to take part in the challenge, despite them having grown into successful and mature adults. Meet teetotal lawyer Andy Knightley (Frost), architectural consultant Steven (Considine), high-flying estate agent Oliver O-Man (Freeman) and reserved car dealer Peter (Marsan).

After the first few identical pubs on the ‘golden mile’, a mysterious atmosphere surrounds Gary and the group and the night soon spirals out of control. In the Cross Hands pub, a slapstick fight soon breaks out in the men’s toilets unveiling ‘The Blanks’ - ass-kicking aliens disguised in human form who are threatening to take over the town, and the rest of the world! The reunion soon becomes much more than a pub crawl and a bigger challenge than ever imagined as they embark on the craziest mission of a lifetime.
Don’t miss the final slice of the ‘Cornetto’ trilogy THE WORLDS END, packed with outrageous humour, explosive action, bizarre brawls and side-splitting one-liners, as it is released on Blu-ray™ and DVD - both with UltraViolet™ - and digital download from 19th November [North America] & 25th November [UK & Eire], 2013.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD
- 2004, Focus Features, 99 min, UK / France / USA, Dir: Edgar Wright
Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg cowrote this funny and bloody film, which breathed new life into both the zombie and romantic comedy genres. In a quaint British village, average guy Shaun (Pegg), fed up with his humdrum life, tries to convince his ex-girlfriend to take him back. Unfortunately, their reconciliation may have to take a back seat to … a zombie apocalypse!

HOT FUZZ
- 2007, Focus Features, 121 min, UK / France / USA, Dir: Edgar Wright
In the action-packed comedy from the makers of the hit SHAUN OF THE DEAD, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer - he’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a seemingly crime-free village where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing. There he is partnered with overeager officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), whose dreams of exciting gunfights and high-octane car chases become reality after some grisly incidents rock the village. With Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton and Edward Woodward.

THE WORLD’S END
-2013, Focus Features, 109 min, UK, Dir: Edgar Wright
Director Edgar Wright finishes what he started with SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ, reuniting with stars and co-writers Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to tell the hilarious tale of a group of friends who begin on a leisurely pub crawl that soon becomes a fast, funny adventure. Expertly choreographed action set pieces alternate with surprisingly heartfelt reflections on friendship and aging in this satisfying conclusion to Wright’s “Three Flavours Cornetto” trilogy.

Since we’re in an Elysium mood, we bring you The World’s End, the third film in Edgar Wright‘s Simon Pegg trilogy of black comedies that started with the beyond brilliant Shaun of the Dead in 2004, followed by Hot Fuzz in 2007. Both are genre parodies, but that’s not the half of it. Unlike, say, Airplane and Naked Gun from our own Zucker brothers, that’s not all they are. Because what are genres, after all, but rules of behavior codified into aesthetic do’s and don’ts, which gives Wright the opening he needs to turn them against themselves, drolly exposing their essential vacuity, skewering the absurdities of life as we know it. In Shaun of the Dead, for example, it takes Pegg some time to realize that there actually are zombies abroad, because their shambling blankness is nearly identical to that of his neighbors. The World’s End begins as a thinking man’s spoof of movies like the Hangovers, with their struggles against growing up, but like its predecessors, it turns into something else-what, it would be tactless to tell. As a special treat, writer-director Edgar Wright will introduce the film and answer questions afterwards.-Peter Biskind

“This is by light-years the most entertaining movie of the year. How many apocalyptic sci-fi action extravaganzas leave you feeling as if the world is just beginning?”&-David Edelstein, New York Magazine

“Wright has retained his happy knack of deploying gags not as comic relief but as smart bombs, dropped into the midst of violent activity, until we can’t tell what is funny and what hurts.”-Anthony Lane, New Yorker

“To my surprise, a diamond has emerged from the gutter. Its name is The World’s End, and it’ll knock you on you ass from laughing when you’re not rubbing your eyes in disbelief.”-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“The World’s End is more like an antic sugar high than a reeling, drunken stupor. There are no headaches, dry mouth or crushing shame at the end – no “Hangover,” in other words. I’ll drink to that.”-A.O. Scott, New York Times

“Robert Frost famously mused ‘Some say the world will end in fire/Some say in ice.’ I prefer Edgar Wright’s vision: It will end in a pub.”-Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

“It overflows with middle-aged angst over lost youth. And laments the generic nature of our corporate-driven culture.”-Mary F. Pols, TIME Magazine

“Don’t feel excluded if you haven’t seen the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead and the buddy cop comedy Hot Fuzz… because The World’s End stands on its own as hilarious high-end nonsense.”-Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

“Scott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart. Don’t worry too much about hugging and learning and stuff. Just revel in those clutter-free last moments when two people finally get enough of a grip on who they are to make an honest, human connection. It’s a game-changer.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

I’ve curated three seasons of ‘The Wright Stuff’ at LA’s fabulous New Beverly Cinema since 2007, showing both my favourite films and, occasionally, classics I’ve never seen.

Now, to get you in the mood for the North American release of ‘The World’s End’ on Aug 23rd, I have put together these stepping stones to our new movie. The films are all great and all wildly diverse, but you will see some of the seeds of their influence in our new movie.

Starting this Friday, here’s my ‘The World’s End Is Nigh’ season. I won’t be able to be present at all of these movies, but I can vouch that all of these doubles will be solid gold. Enjoy!

 

“One Crazy Night”

Fri-Sat, Aug 9-10: Book Soon!

AFTER HOURS 1985, USA, 97 min. Directed by Martin Scorsese Written by Joseph Minion Starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Teri Garr, John Heard, Catherine O’Hara, Linda Fiorentino, Verna Bloom, Tommy Chong, Cheech Marin, Will Patton, Dick Miller Fri: 7:30 pm; Sat: 3:00 & 7:30 pm

&

INTO THE NIGHT 1985, USA, 115 min. Directed by John Landis Written by Ron Koslow Starring Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Aykroyd, Bruce McGill, David Bowie, Richard Farnsworth, Vera Miles, Irene Papas, Clu Gulager, Kathryn Harrold, John Landis Fri: 9:35 pm; Sat: 5:00 & 9:35 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I’m especially fond of the all-in-one-night movie and here are two cult classics of the sub genre that were both released in 1985. Scorcese’s ‘After Hours’ is better known than John Landis’ excellent ‘Into The Night’ but they both feature classic quirky leads in Griffin Dunne and Jeff Goldblum, along with incredible supporting casts. A dream double bill.

“Rock & Roll All Nite”

Sun-Mon, Aug 11-12: Book Soon!

AMERICAN GRAFFITI 1973, USA, 112 min. Directed by George Lucas Written by George Lucas and Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips, Wolfman Jack, Bo Hopkins, Harrison Ford, Suzanne Somers Sun: 2:50 & 7:30 pm; Mon: 7:30 pm

&

DAZED AND CONFUSED 1993, USA, 102 min. Written and directed by Richard Linklater Starring Jason London, Rory Cochrane, Wiley Wiggins, Adam Goldberg, Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, Milla Jovovich, Ben Affleck Sun: 5:10 & 9:50 pm; Mon: 9:50 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Two more all nighters in the form of George Lucas nostalgic look at ’62 and Linklater’s buzzy 70’s time capsule. The 1990 opening of ‘The World’s End’ was designed as a potted version of such rites of passage movies, so I can’t think of a better youthful double bill.

“We Are The Robots”

Tue-Wed, Aug 13-14: Book Soon!

WESTWORLD 1973, USA, 88 min. Written and directed by Michael Crichton Starring Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin, Norman Bartold, Alan Oppenheimer, Victoria Shaw, Dick Van Patten, Steve Franken 7:30 pm

&

THE TERMINATOR 1984, USA/UK, 107 min. Directed by James Cameron Written by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton, Paul Winfield, Lance Henriksen 9:25 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Two terrifying robotic performances in the unstoppable forms of Yul Brynner and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Michael Crichton’s future nightmare still feels extremely plausible and James Cameron’s breakthrough remains one of his very best films. I showed clips of both of these movies to the young actors playing the villains of our movie and they responded with terrifying dead eyed zeal.

“They’re Here Already!”

Thu-Fri, Aug 15-16: Book Soon!

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS 1978, USA, 115 min. Directed by Philip Kaufman Screenplay by W.D. Richter; based on Jack Finney’s novel Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Leonard Nimoy, Art Hindle, Lelia Goldoni, Kevin McCarthy 7:30 pm

&

DEAD & BURIED 1981, USA, 94 min. Directed by Gary Sherman Screenplay by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon Story by Jeff Millar & Alex Stern Starring James Farentino, Melody Anderson, Jack Albertson, Dennis Redfield, Nancy Locke, Robert Englund 9:50 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The most paranoid double bill you’ll see this year. Philip Kaufman’s 1978 San Francisco masterpiece is one of the best remakes of them all and has been a massive influence on both ‘Shaun’ & ‘World’s End’. Gary Sherman’s nightmarish horror has, in New England fishing town Potter’s Bluff, a locale that is a creepy cousin to our Newtown Haven. Be prepared to never trust anyone ever again.

“Friends Reunited”

Sat, Aug 17: Book Soon!

IT’S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER 1955, USA, 101 min. Directed by Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly Story and screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green Starring Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Cyd Charisse, Dolores Gray, Michael Kidd, David Burns, Jay C. Flippen 3:00 & 7:30 pm

&

THE BIG CHILL 1983, USA, 105 min. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan Written by Lawrence Kasdan & Barbara Benedek Starring Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, JoBeth Williams 5:00 & 9:35 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

These two films are the only features we watched prior to writing the first draft of ‘The World’s End’. One is the startlingly bittersweet Gene Kelly musical reuniting war time buddies in a New York bar ten years after WWII. The latter is the baby boomer classic by Lawrence Kasdan which brings old friends together after a friend’s suicide. Simon Pegg and I would joke that our new film would be like ‘The Big Chill’ if the dead pal was present at his own wake. Both are great, funny and sometimes dark movies.

“Happy End Of The World”

Sun-Tue, Aug 18-20: Book Soon!

LAST NIGHT 1998, Canada/France, 95 min. Written and directed by Don McKellar Starring Don McKellar, Sandra Oh, Roberta Maxwell, Robin Gammell, Sarah Polley, David Cronenberg Sun: 3:10 & 7:30 pm; Mon & Tue: 7:30 pm

&

THE ROAD WARRIOR 1981, Australia, 95 min. Directed by George Miller Screenplay by Terry Hayes & George Miller & Brian Hannant Starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Emil Minty, Virginia Hey Sun: 5:10 & 9:30 pm; Mon & Tue: 9:30 pm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Two brilliant future shocks; one pre and one post apocalypse. Don McKellar’s quiet masterpiece is a criminally under-seen film about the last night on Earth. It’s been ripped off a whole lot, including by me. George Miller’s incredible second Mad Max instalment is rightly one of the most sci fi genre’s most influential design classics. A must see double.

“Thrills, Pills & Bellyaches”

Wed-Thu, Aug 21-22: Book Soon!

WITHNAIL & I 1987, UK, 107 min. Written and directed by Bruce Robinson Starring Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths, Ralph Brown. Michael Elphick 7:30 pm

&

24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE 2002, UK, 117 min. Directed by Michael Winterbottom Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce Starring Steve Coogan, John Thomas, Paul Popplewell, Lennie James, Shirley Henderson, Paddy Considine, Andy Serkis 9:45 pm

To end the season a double whammy of British hedonism. Richard E Grant gives the finest drunk performance in all cinema (and from a tee totaller too) and Michael Winterbottom’s Madchester opus chronicles the coke and ecstasy laden saga of Factory Records. The former influenced our film in it’s whirlwind of a lead, so much so that some have called our new movie ‘Withnail And I-Robot’. And the music the latter is frequently at the heart of ‘The World’s End’.

See one, see them all. Cheers!
