Will Shaun of the Dead 2 Happen? Simon Pegg Responds
Actor Simon Pegg comments on the possibility of Shaun of the Dead 2 ever being produced. Pegg starred as Shaun in the zombie-horror cult classic film, the first entry in writer-director Edgar Wright's Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy, along with the action-comedy Hot Fuzz, and the science-fiction comedyThe World's End.
