Fans can thank Cornetto for inspiring the addition of the ice cream to the rest of the films and with that giving a name to the trilogy that is easy and fun to remember. This last film is also the only one that doesn’t feature a character eating a Cornetto, instead adding just the wrapper near the end of the film.Įdgar Wright and Simon Pegg know how to use what happens to them and around them to their advantage, as the whole Cornetto Trilogy concept eventually drew more attention to the films. The 2007 comedy from director Edgar Wright left the door open for a sequel by setting up Nicholas Angel. Shaun of the Dead has a strawberry Cornetto, in reference to the film’s zombie/bloody theme Hot Fuzz features the blue Cornetto, because it’s a buddy cop film and The World’s End has the green mint chocolate chip ice cream, representing science fiction. Simon Pegg has put any hopes for Hot Fuzz 2 on ice. Edgar Wright is known for his attention to detail in all his films, and these were no exception. Although the first Cornettos weren’t added with the intention of being a link between the films, that doesn’t mean that just any flavor was going to be on the big screen.
