And I really mean this: I don’t know where cinema is going to go,” Scorsese continued.

Simon Pegg has revealed his favourite film in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy.The beloved trio of films, directed by Edgar Wright, consists of the zombie comedy Shawn Of The Dead (strawberry), the action comedy Hot Fuzz (classic), and the sci-fi comedy The World’s End (mint).Now, Pegg has revealed which of the three films is his favourite.“You know, my favourite of the Cornetto trilogy is The World’s End because it’s the least audience-friendly,” the Mission: Impossible star told Discussing Film.“It’s the darkest of the three. It’s the most challenging, and I love the idea of actually putting the audience in a position where they have to feel a little bit uncomfortable and not necessarily cozy into the familiar.”Pegg also revealed during the interview that he and Wright are currently planning their next project together.“We’ve always done original ideas, even though we’ve kind of built them around existing genres or whatever.

Quentin Tarantino got in on the movie event of the summer.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Landing a first headlining slot at the Hollywood Bowl is a cherished milestone for any major musical acts who claim Los Angeles as their home base. It can even mean a little more, probably, when it’s a sibling jubilee. Last summer, it was a homecoming-queens coronation for the Haim sisters, who got the honor a mere nine years into their professional career. This year, the Bowl debut honor for cherished locals goes to the Mael brothers, who only had to wait 52 years for their own crowning gig. What’s five decades among friends and family … everybody loves a slow build, right? The brothers would never be mistaken for rank sentimentalists, but Sunday night’s Sparks show might have brought a hint of a tear to a waggish eye, knowing it was a boyhood dream. Or at least when Ron and Russell Mael’s mom brought them to see the Beatles at the venue in 1965, it was “probably some good education,” as Russell allowed near the beginning of the show. At the Bowl Sunday, Mom was likely not around, but they did have the closest thing they’ve probably had lately to a surrogate parent, director Edgar Wright, whose consciousness-raising documentary “The Sparks Brothers” can be loosely said to have kind of nurtured them across a sort of finish line.

Simon Pegg has told fans hopeful for a sequel to 2004’s Shaun Of The Dead to “move on”.The actor, who starred and wrote the zombie comedy film with director Edgar Wright, said he doesn’t have any interest in creating a sequel during an interview with the Guardian.“If I ever do an Instagram Live or whatever, people are always like, ‘I need Shaun Of The Dead 2 in my life,’” Pegg said. “And I’m like, ‘No, you don’t fucking need Shaun Of The Dead 2!
