The pair go heavy on 'Shaun of the Dead' references

Jack Gleeson, who is known to most as the despicable King Joffrey from “Game of Thrones,” is set to make his return to television after a six-year break.

During a break from M:I 7, Simon Pegg made his way to dreich GFF and embraced the rain for the premiere of Lost Transmissions, alongside director Katharine O’Brien, where we got to catch up with them both.

Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the Star Trek franchise, doesn’t expect a fourth film to happen.

Black Lives Matter movement – and thinks they all need to ‘shut the f**k up’. The actor and producer revealed that he is doing what he can to help black writers, actors and directors get a foot in the door of the industry too. He told the Observer: ‘Anyone that’s complaining about it should just shut the f**k up because it’s time.‘The film industry would be such a healthier, more interesting place if there were more voices, different stories, different experiences. ‘It’s so dominated by one particular voice and colour of face, it just perpetuates a bland mono-voiced cultural landscape.’Simon has been having meetings with Cephas Williams from 56 Black Men in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests to see how his production company,

Simon Pegg says his battle with alcoholism was a "private hell". The 'Lost Transmissions' star has revealed he struggled with an addiction to alcohol after using booze to self-medicate in the late 2000s, and has said that hiding his battle from his loved ones left him with a "strange kind of split personality", as he was trying to pretend he wasn't "unwell".

Simon Pegg has opened up about his struggles with depression and alcoholism, calling addiction a “very private hell”.The actor, writer and longtime collaborator of Nick Frost has had depression since the age of 18. In his late 30s – when he worked on 14 films including Mission: Impossible III and Hot Fuzz – he developed an addiction to alcohol.“I think Nick knew, but he didn’t want to admit it because it was too scary,” Pegg said of Frost in a new interview with The Sunday Times.

Simon Pegg is considering returning to the role of hapless cop Nicholas Angel in a Hot Fuzz sequel.

Can a bad twist ruin a good movie? Can a good twist save a flawed film? Are both possible? These are the sorts of things that run through your head when watching a flick that’s overly reliant on a third act surprise. Inheritance, out today, certainly thinks it’s being more clever than it actually is, but it’s a case where that poor choice doesn’t torpedo the whole thing. A chillingly ominous vibe and a standout turn by Simon Pegg, acting very much against type, helps to make this one worth your time. Plus, if the twist manages to surprise you? All the better.

Simon Pegg was all set to film the new “Mission: Impossible” sequel before the coronavirus pandemic shut it all down.
