If we sat down to list our all time favourite movies it wouldn’t take too long to get to either Shaun of the Dead or From Dusk ‘Till Dawn.
So just imagine how excited we are at the idea that that should have been a world where they met.
Welcome to the world of From Dusk Till Shaun.
Yes, you read that right.
Glorious, right?
Star Simon Pegg has said that, there was a time where they did toy with the idea of a sequel, although it never really looked like happening from his point of view: “I jokingly wrote a treatment for From Dusk Till Shaun, which was a sequel to Shaun of the Dead. It was all about Shaun and Ed having to go up to Edinburgh, or something. I don’t know. It was ridiculous. And it was a joke. It wasn’t like a serious pitch. Edgar thought it would be funny to do the film again, but with vampires. But it was all just pub talk.”
The main reason it didn’t happen however was because Pegg and director Edgar Wright didn’t want to repeat themselves: “There was a brief idea we had, that we entertained for all of like 72 hours, where I thought you could do an alternate reality sequel. It basically starts with the same movie but then it becomes not about zombies. But these films, they take three years. So, it’s like, if you’re doing another movie, let’s do something completely different.”
While we would have loved to see a sequel to Shaun of the Dead, we’re just loving the title… From Dusk Till Shaun. Just let that roll around in there for a while….
