[Paul](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092026/).

Looks like Pegg and Frost, having covered zombies and unintentionally homoerotic, ultraviolent cop movies, are now addressing aliens. Should be fun! Maybe they’ll include a mint Cornetto?

Sigourney Weaver?

Look like playing Scotty gets you closer to the A listers.

Probably it won’t include mint Cornetto. Pegg, Frost, and Edgar Wright have announced a third in their “blood and ice cream” trilogy, _The World’s End_. Since Edgar Wright isn’t directing this one or collaborating on the script, I wouldn’t count on it being entirely like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
