Edgar Wright created the 'Cornetto Trilogy' because he wanted free ice cream. The 'Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy' are comprised of the three British comedy films, 'Shaun of the Dead', 'Hot Fuzz' and 'The World's End' - all of which starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and were directed by Edgar who co-wrote the movies with Simon. Sharing photos of the cast at the 2004 premiere on his Twitter account, Edgar revealed: "It was 15 years since the London premiere of 'Shaun Of The Dead'. He said: "It's a half-joke, It's something that came up after 'Hot Fuzz' because we used Cornetto ice cream in both 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz' and some journalist pointed that out and said, 'Are you going to make this a trilogy?' "And I said, 'Yes, it's going to be like Krzysztof Kieslowski's The Three Colors Trilogy.'
