A Fantastic Fear of Everything

Dread Central tips us off on a title that slipped through the cracks in my geeky life. Hey, I can't be aware of everything! You'd think they'd catch on we love and will promote anything Simon Pegg is involved with by now! So..yea..I blame society.

Jack (Simon Pegg) is a children’s author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a life-line by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his 'big break' rapidly turns into his 'big breakdown', as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons, among them his love life, his laundry, and the origin of all fear.

The World's End Reviewed

By Marlene Bonnelly

Friends, booze and a dawning apocalypse: what could go wrong? The answer: a lot, apparently, and The World's End does a great job of documenting it.

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost once again manage to join drama, action and a healthy dose of British humor in this final installment of a film trio that includes the fantastically successful Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Something about this one is different, though. The World's End, despite its ridiculous premise, draws on something real and solemn that any adult can relate to. Sure, it's a movie about a group of buddies re-connecting through a perilous adventure around their hometown's watering holes. Sure, there are robots and over-the-top fight scenes and Pegg rocking a painfully 90s getup that had me cringing through the duration of the screening.

SDCC 2013: The World's End Panel

It's not every day we even have the time to consider sitting in a panel in the middle of the madness that is San Diego Comic Con, but when Edgar Wright calls, we come a'runnin. Emilie Noetzel beams in her report.

Chris Hardwick hosts Edgar Wright, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg

Matt smith was at the World's End party last night. Chris Hardwick thinks the movie is fantastic, says it did feel like it had a Doctor Who element to it. "Retitle it Doctor Hooch as it has Doctor Who element" Says Edgar. Simon Pegg feels like Gary (his character) is like the "Dark Doctor." Gary is a bit of dick, villain and hero, nutcase... Dickishness is explained. Gary is stuck in the 90s. Their Tardis is beer. Nick Frost is Andy, the buttoned up character. They play different character (types) as they wanted to change it up. Nick Frost says he (Andy) is a hardnut. They say they are closer to their Shaun characters (in real life).

The Death and Return of Superman

HAPPY MONDAY!! You're all back to work even though your geeky universe is spitting out new toy images at a remarkable pace, leaving you pretending to do work while you drink this in and watch all the Super Bowl commercials and trailers you didn't see because you're not sporty.

We get you.

To add to your distractions, we present "The Death and Return of Superman", a purely educational film created by Max Landis, one of our favorite people who COINCIDENTALLY just had his film Chronicle open in theaters across the planet! How's that for timing? This short film explains the events surrounding the diabolical Death of Superman story line, taking you on a magical journey INTO the comic itself while simultaneously giving you a glimpse into the minds of the DC executives involved in the comic's..umm...birthing. We'll go with birthing. As this is an epic tale, Max recruited his buddies to help out. The Death and Return of Superman stars Elden Henson, Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Morgan Krantz, Simon Pegg, Chris Hardwick, Misti Dawn, Jimmi Simpson, little Ronny Howard, Max Landis (as Max Landis) and many, many more. This is NOT a 5 minute movie, so keep this in mind when you hit play. You're gonna want to take this in all at once.



Max comments "The original rant was 45 minutes long, so of course we had to cut a bunch of stuff out for time, and because it was just too stupid. Like for instance the part where Pa Kent dies of a heart attack and literally GOES TO HEAVEN. AND SEES SUPERMAN. If I saw this video, I might nerd rage out so hard. But luckily I made it, so I'm pretty happy. Really I'd hope people just are with me, and happy that Guy Gardner and Bloodwynd get to be in a movie."

This is the funniest thing I've seen all year. I know it is only February...but I'm confident enough to make that bet right now.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in PAUL!

He's come from the stars. Why? Perhaps because he is a fan of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead. That would be enough for me to make the trip. Whatever the case may be, the new teaser trailer for PAUL has landed and we've got it for you. Here's hoping for comedy magic from my favorite Brits once again!

<br/><a href="http://video.uk.msn.com/watch/video/exclusive-paul-trailer/2twpg8aq?fg=sharenoembed" target="_new" title="Exclusive: Paul - Trailer">Video: Exclusive: Paul - Trailer</a>

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogan) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-travelling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

Wackiness, ensues, natch. Since Pegg and Frost wrote the thing, I've got high hopes!
