More casting news is coming in for the latest film in a trilogy of comedies from Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright that started with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, entitled The World's End. Read on for details.

According to Variety, Paddy Considine (pictured) is set to reteam with his Hot Fuzz co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for Wright's latest flick. Considine will play a former ladies' man and musician who has grown up to be a divorced architect.

He joins the previously announced Rosamund Pike (Doom, Wrath of the Titans, Die Another Day), Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Edgar Wright directs the film.

Synopsis
20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell-bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.

Cool beans.

HOOOOOORAY!!!!

Martin Freeman And Eddie Marsan Join Edgar Wright’s The World’s End | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Five of the lead characters of The World’s End are a group of friends, aged around 40 and re-attempting a pub crawl that they somehow botched as younger men. Doesn’t sound too dramatic, but it’s not just any pub crawl – it’s happening while the world is ending.

While nothing has been clarified, this apocalypse seems to be the fault of aliens. Perhaps.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are playing two of the friends, Gary King and Andy Knight, and Paddy Considine was named as the third a couple of weeks back. Now we have the names of the other two – and it’s The Hobbit Hobbit Martin Freeman, and Snow White and The Huntsman dwarf Eddie Marsan. That’s a really ****ing impressive line-up, if you’ll excuse my French.

Couldn't agree more.

Well, the M is likely Mermaid, right? Sisters? Are they a band? At least Evans can sing, maybe they all can, or play.

And being a “love interest” suggests a meaningful part, though to be honest, these could be utterly tiny roles for all we know. Or they could be quite significant.
