The World's End
The World's End is a 2013 science fiction comedy film directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg. It is the third film in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, after Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). Starring Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, Rosamund Pike and Pierce Brosnan, the film focuses on five friends who return to their hometown for a pub crawl and uncover an alien invasion. In 1995, Wright wrote a screenplay titled Crawl about teenagers on a pub crawl. Deciding it was better suited as a comedic exploration of young adulthood and aging, he reworked the screenplay with Pegg in the early 2010s. The film was produced by Relativity Media, Big Talk Productions and Working Title Films. Principal photography began on 28 September 2012 and lasted until that December, with filming locations including Elstree Studios, Letchworth Garden City, and Welwyn Garden City. The stunts were coordinated by members of Jackie Chan Stunt Team, and The World's End is considered a social science fiction film. The World's End premiered at Leicester Square in London on 10 July 2013, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom by Universal Pictures on 19 July. Its release in the United States by Focus Features followed on 23 August. The film received positive reviews, with praise for the screenplay, performances of the cast, humour and direction. It won Best British Film at the 19th Empire Awards, and was nominated for Best Comedy at the 19th Critics' Choice Awards. The World's End grossed $46.1 million worldwide on a budget of $20 million.
I am. But don't know for how long. Basil! Shh... So what's that? Three? You had to replace an entire town? Not the entire town. Everybody apart from old Nutbowl and the Shifty twins. That's a good name for a band, Gary. You should write that down. I will. What about the ones you replaced, like Peter and Oliver? Yeah, what happened to the empties? I told you not to ask that! Redundant vessels are recycled, mulched and converted into fertilizer, whereupon they are returned to the earth to promote verdancy and growth. It is a highly efficient means of organic renewal. Mulched? It is a relative few in light of our long-term plan. You mean a few hundred thousand turned to fucking compost? What about the other places? The penetration points.

Are they as successful as Newton Haven? Because I'm guessing we're not the only glitch in your system. It is true, The Network has been experiencing some difficulties. I think you bit off more than you can chew with Earth, mate. Yeah, 'cause we are more belligerent, more stubborn and more idiotic than you can possibly imagine, and I am not just talking about Gary. Yeah, there's more than one Gary King. But you said... I fucking know what I fucking said! Your reliance on profanity is a measure of your immaturity as a man and a species, Why don't you just get in your rocket and fuck off back to Legoland, you cunts! Yeah! Stop fucking Starbucking us, man! Yeah! It is our duty to challenge you. Just leave us to our own devices, you intergalactic arseholes. You misunderstand. Shut up! We are trying... Nobody's listening! If you'd only... Face it, we are the human race and we don't like being told what to do.
