Simon Pegg's film, Angels in the Asylum, has halted production indefinitely due to a funding crisis, leaving crew , producers, and suppliers unpaid. The project is directed by Rob Sorrenti in his feature debut, with Pegg, known for his roles in Shaun of the Dead and Mission: Impossible, leading the cast alongside Fantastic Beasts' Katherine Waterston, Minnie Driver, Rose Williams, Aurora Perrineau, and Kai Alexander. The film, inspired by a BBC Newsnight exposé, aimed to tell the true stories of women in the 1930s who were incarcerated at Long Grove Asylum in Surrey for being typhoid carriers. 6p2r2z

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will be at Awesome Con. The actors shot to stardom together with a series of winning projects—most made with celebrated writer/director Edgar Wright—including the sitcom Spaced, the “zom-com” Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End. Both actors have also thrived in their own rights, with Frost appearing in projects like Attack the Block, Truth Seekers, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Pegg in the Mission: Impossible series, the J.J. Abrams Star Trek series, and The Boys. Their breakout film, Shaun of the Dead, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024.

A major actor seemingly has no intention of ever returning to Doctor Who. The long-running show has been a dominant franchise for the BBC since it first premiered in 1963. It follows the ever-changing Doctor as he explores time and space, while he meets a variety of new companions and enemies along the way. Numerous stars have appeared in the show throughout its run, including Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother).

Simon Pegg s his Star Trekco-stars in wanting to return to Star Trek 4 but notes that a USS Enterprise reunion is "forever tainted" because of the tragic death of Anton Yelchin. The 27-year-old Yelchin, who played Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies, lost his life in a vehicular accident in June 2016, just over a month before Star Trek Beyond was released in theaters. Simon Pegg co-wrote Star Trek Beyond with Doug Jung as well as played Scotty, and the film was dedicated to Yelchin and the late Leonard Nimoy.

The best Simon Pegg and Nick Frost movies and series are typically brilliant combinations of comedy, drama, and several other genres/sub-genres. This formula was made famous by director Edgar Wright, who collaborated with Frost and Pegg in the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy. All three famously worked together on the genre-mashing dramedies, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End.

J.J. Abrams' Star Trekmovies made household names of Chris Pine and his fellow cast , who have multiple credits beyond the starship Enterprise. The cast of the 2009 Star Trek reboot were well on the way to becoming big stars, with Zachary Quinto rising to fame as sinister supervillain Sylar in Heroes, and Simon Pegg breaking Hollywood with Shaun of the Dead back in 2004. However, their casting as alternate timeline versions of the Star Trek: The Original Series cast pushed them into the stratosphere.

Star Trek (2009) helped relaunch the Star Trek franchise in the modern era and re-imagined the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise with a diverse cast of new faces. Directed by J.J. Abrams, Star Trek (2009) was the first franchise project produced after the cancelation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, and the 11th Star Trek movie overall. Star Trek (2009) was followed by two sequels, 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness and 2016's Star Trek Beyond, with a third sequel still in the works despite experiencing multiple delays and setbacks.

Simon Pegg has confirmed that he is teaming up with writer and director Edgar Wright to make a new movie, which will be unconnected to the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. Pegg and Wright have previously teamed up on the comedic Cornetto trilogy, which includes the movies Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End. All three films were written by Pegg and Wright, with Pegg starring in the movies while Wright directed them.

Simon Pegg is best known for his starring roles in the spoof films of the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy, but the actor has appeared in plenty of other great movies (and some not-so-great ones). Pegg first rose to prominence as the co-creator and star of the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced. He reunited with director Edgar Wright, co-star Nick Frost, and a handful of other cast from Spaced for the Cornetto movies that launched him to stardom: zombie-infested romcom Shaun of the Dead, “buddy cop” slasher Hot Fuzz, and body-snatching sci-fi adventure The World’s End.
