Simon Pegg Chooses a Surprising Favorite Of the Cornetto Trilogy

The World’s End is 10 years old this month. Is it Simon Pegg’s favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy?

This month marks the 10th anniversary of The World’s End—the final entry in the Cornetto Trilogy of films directed by Edgar Wright starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. That was the last time Pegg and Wright, who also co-wrote the films, worked together on a project, and according to Pegg, that’ll change in the near future.

While teasing what that project may or may not be in an interview with Discussing Film, Pegg also offered up an answer to which of the three Cornetto films is his favorite. Is it the first one, the zombie romantic comedy Shaun of the Dead? Is it the second, the love letter to action movies Hot Fuzz? Or is it the sci-fi obsessed character piece The World’s End? My guess was Shaun, right? That’s the original. The film that made everyone involved a star. But Pegg, in fact, went a different way.
