Ant-Man director calls it quits

[HarveySwick]

I had never heard this reference before now.

 

The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy or The Cornetto trilogy) is a series of comedic genre films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, produced by Nira Park, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost. The trilogy consists of Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013).

 

Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream, with a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour appearing in each film. Shaun of the Dead features a strawberry-flavoured Cornetto, which signifies the film's bloody and gory elements, Hot Fuzz includes the blue original Cornetto, to signify the police element to the film, and The World's End features the green mint chocolate chip flavour in a nod to aliens and science fiction.

 

I missed this thread somehow - but this Cornetto ice cream trivia is pretty cool!

 

I love Shawn of the Dead. I haven't seen the other two though.

They might as well call up Uwe Bolle, he'll direct anything.

 

He only does Computer game movies. Thank god!

Peyton Reed Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Edgar Wright On ANT-MAN

 

The Wrap reveals that Peyton Reed (Down With Love) is the new frontrunner to helm Ant-Man for Marvel Studios. This is the first time his name has emerged after they seemingly failed numerous times to find someone willing to take over from Edgar Wright after he departed the project over creative differences. The fact that the site names him as a frontrunner could mean that he's now likely to be confirmed sooner rather than later, especially as Disney still want to make that July 17th, 2015 release date. While Wright has never had a commercial hit, Reed helmed The Break-Up, which grossed more than $200 million worldwide, and Yes Man, which grossed $223 million worldwide.

So, is this going to be a comedy?

Maybe.

Simon Pegg Weighs In On Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN Exit

 

 

Not surprising since they have worked together. But I have to agree on this comment.

 

"I get why perhaps it’s happened. Maybe they want a particular thing in line with a particular other thing, but if you hire a director who has a particular vision, you’ve got to expect him or her to make a such and such film."

[Broke as a Joke]

Antman movie villain is going to be Crossfire?? This shaping up to be the lamest Marvel movie in existence.

[passion4comics]

A comedy? Like Hancock? or some really lame attempt where there should be canned laugh tracks in the background? If they look at the last 52 years of Antman, they should really go with what works.

So far, in my opinion, Marvel Studios has been firing on all cylinders. As a True Believer, I have faith it'll turn out alright.
