Named as such due to the prevalence of a specific British ice cream brand seen in the three loosely connected films, it’s somewhat safe to say that among fans, Shaun of the Dead remains the favorite. Wright and Pegg, who wrote the film together, have since discussed the possibility of a sequel, but to date, this has yet to achieve any solid momentum – much to the great dismay of many.
