The legend that is Simon Pegg quite frankly has never put a foot wrong in his career in this reporter’s eyes. As we all sit antsy at the promise of the approaching arrival of sci-fi comedy ‘The World’s End’, his new and final project in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, news has arrived that he is set to join ‘Gremlins’ director Joe Dante’s new adaptation of ghost story ‘Casting the Runes’.
