Good news for Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg fans

Variety reports that Working Title has signed a two picture deal with Edgar Wright to direct for Universal.

Wright, who directed the comedies "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" for Working Title, will first write and direct "Baby Driver," a wild spin on the action/crime genre that will be set in the U.S.

He will follow with "The World's End," the working title of a comedy that he'll co-write with Simon Pegg, his writing partner on "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz."

Pegg, who starred in both of those films, will once again topline the pic, which the duo said completes a trilogy of homages to their favorite genres.

I could not be more pleased by this news.
