If you have been following Simon Pegg’s twitter page lately you will know that the British comedian has been filming a secret project over July that fuelled a rabid fanboy speculation over what it might be. The optimistic Pegg fans were hoping for At World’s End, the final part of he, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost’s Blood & Ice Cream trilogy that would follow the zom-rom-com Shaun of the Dead and the police action comedy Hot Fuzz into the apocalyptic genre that we have heard so much about over the years. And the really, really optimistic were hopeful that it may, somehow, have been a scene or two from the Star Trek sequel that we still hear J.J. Abrams hopes to shoot late summer.
In the end the announcement came a few hours ago of what Pegg has been teasing and although it’s not quite as cool...
