Simon Pegg says people need to “move on” from ‘Shaun of the Dead’
Simon Pegg has said that people need to "move on" from 'Shaun of the Dead', the 2004 Edgar Wright comedy movie starring himself alongside Nick Frost
It's a clickbait headline ('no Simon Pegg, it's great and I won't move on!") but, when you read what he says, he is right:
Pegg said, “If I ever do an Instagram Live or whatever, people are always like, ‘I need Shaun of the Dead 2 in my life.’ And I’m like, ‘No, you don’t fucking need Shaun of the Dead 2! The last thing you need is Shaun of the Dead 2! It’s done. Move on!’”
If people want SotD2 it suggests that a) they have misunderstood the Cornetto Trilogy idea and b) they haven't watched the film.
The film did an important job (along with 28 Days Later) of revitalising the British horror movie industry and the zombie genre in general and that's it's legacy.
