3. Pre-production: The worlds End
 Starting off as an idea created by Edgar wright at the age of 21, In
which a group of young guys go on a pub crawl, he later realised that
the concept would work better with adults who are returning to their
old home town.
 The ideas behind the film were to take the idea of “feeling alienated in
your own home town” too literally and ending up with a sci-fi.

4. Production of the film
 Principal photography for The World's End began on 28 September 2012.
 Filming took place in Hertfordshire, at Elstree Studios, Letchworth Garden City, and Welwyn Garden
City. Part of the film was also shot at High Wycombe railway station, Buckinghamshire.
 Production started with the collection of the cast, made easier by the fact that they are all actual
childhood friends. Similar to the other cornetto trilogy films that feature a similar cast.
 Compared to the other cornetto films, it is clear that there was a vast amount more technology used
in the films creation, probably due to Edgar’s involvement in Scott Pilgrim Vs the world.
 What has not changed is Edgar and Simon’s passion for the film, and the extraordinary detail that
goes into it.
 Filming ended on 22 December 2012.

6. Distribution
 Like most British films, the act of distributing a film has gone to a large
American company (universal pictures). This has meant that global
success was achieved, but the film was also accompanied by the
reputation that Edgar Wright has developed since Shaun of the dead
(possible the best zombie comedy of all time)

companies

internet campaigns
is left to the
American films.

these were long, descriptive trailers that gave us the plot synopsis

predicted demand. The film was first shown at Empire cinema for it’s
premier 9 days before it’s official release date on the 19th of July. The
premier was greatly successful.

some people (not critics) think that he ended his trilogy poorly with too
much repetition.Company Review (out of 100)

IMDB 71
The guardian 80

12. - Technology is not a key factor in the films success and in fact was not
altogether that impressive.
- As any Edgar Wright film now does, there is a cult following that will
always be willing to attend the cinema to watch a film of his.
- The rating of the film was 15+ the same as his other cornetto films.
