Simon Pegg: 'World's End draft before Star Trek 2'

Simon Pegg has revealed that he hopes to have a draft of The World's End in the near future.

The Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol actor spoke to Collider about his upcoming projects, stating that he would like to start working with his frequent collaborator Edgar Wright on a script for The World's End, the final part in the 'Cornetto Trilogy', before filming Star Trek 2.

"Well, what Edgar and I are trying to do is fit in some writing time before I start Star Trek," Pegg said. "We'd like to be able to sit down long enough to be able to maybe even get a draft out even. Because I think this time we'll be able to hit the ground running."

He continued: "We've written two films together. We procrastinated a lot on Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I think with this one, because we're match fit, I think we can... write as good a script but do it slightly more efficiently."

Pegg recently told Digital Spy that he is also working on a new film with Nick Frost, claiming that the two of them have come up with an idea for a movie that they want to do as soon as possible.

Last week, the 41-year-old confirmed that Star Trek 2 will begin production this year in the autumn.
