Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are planning their next collaboration together. And according to Pegg, “it has a title and everything.”

“We’re kind of into a creative cycle right now,” Pegg told BBC 6 Music during an interview earlier this week. “We’ve all got different things [going] on and we know we have to get those things done. The coming-together thing is without question on the table and will happen when we can do it.”

Pegg and Wright previously collaborated with each other on three comedies that are known as The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy: “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “The World’s End.”

Nick Frost co-starred in the three films Pegg and Wright share writing credits on, and Pegg hinted that, of course, Frost would also be involved.

“I really love working with those guys and I wouldn’t ever not want to work with them,” Pegg said. “It’s not even a question.”

If fans of Pegg and Wright’s style are lucky, they might even get to a whole new trilogy of films loosely connected by thematic elements, like three flavors of Cornetto ice cream.

“When we said the trilogy was over, it was because that group of films was over. They’re all kind of related with each other and deal with a specific idea. There’s a criteria to those films,” Pegg said. “The next thing we do won’t do that, it will just be something else. It will happen. We made three films in ten years and hopefully in the next decade we’ll make another three.”
