The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy)[1][2] is a series of films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Simon Pegg and Wright, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost in leading roles.
The first two films in the series are Shaun of the Dead (2004), "a romantic comedy with zombies", and Hot Fuzz (2007), a buddy cop action/comedy film. A third film, provisionally titled The World's End (2014),[2][3][4] is planned for the future.
Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream flavour - both of the films released to date feature scenes in which one of the main characters purchases a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour. Shaun of the Dead features a red strawberry Cornetto, Hot Fuzz includes a blue Classic flavour, and The World's End is due to feature a green mint chocolate chip ice-cream.[2] The use of the three flavours/colours of Cornetto is a reference to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours film trilogy.[5]
