Nick Frost as Ed and Simon Pegg as Shaun in Shaun of the Dead
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Perhaps because of the slowdown in production due to last year’s industry-wide strikes, studios have really been doubling down on re-releases this year.
Each standalone film features Pegg and Frost in the central roles, and parodies a popular film genre. While Shaun of the Dead was a send-up of zombie movies directed by George A. Romero, Hot Fuzz parodied action films of the 1990s, and The World’s End found humor in alien invasion movie tropes. Combined, the three films have generated over $150 million worldwide. Each movie in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy has also been critically acclaimed.
This year has been unusually packed with re-releases. While Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and The Mummy celebrated their 25th anniversaries in theaters, Ridley Scott’s Alien was re-released in celebration of its 45th anniversary.
