In under a decade, director Edgar Wright has established himself as a major director with a trio of funny, exciting, and visually inventive movies: "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." Now he's collaborating with his old pal and screenwriting partner Simon Pegg again for "The World's End," the third chapter of their "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy.

Also starring Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan, "The World's End" tells the story of a group of old friends attempting to recreate an epic pub crawl from their youth, only to find an even more epic event is going on around them.

We'll have the exclusive premiere of the new trailer for "The World's End" this coming Wednesday, and to get ready for it, we'll be taking questions from fans that Edgar Wright will answer. Leave your question in the comments, or tweet to @YahooMovies with the hashtag #TheWorldsEnd. We'll post Edgar's answers on Tuesday.

"The World's End" opens in the U.S. on

A24/Mars/MementoCannes 2013 is well underway as the annual film festival showcases the latest in international cinema against the lush n' gorgeous backdrop of the French countryside. Perhaps the most notoriously elitist of film festivals (by a mile), it's all about the fashion and, well, bling 'round these parts ... which makes it only appropriate that one of the first movies out the gate this year was "The Bling Ring," Sofia Coppola's true-life crime comedy about a bunch of spoiled SoCal teenagers who fight off boredom by robbing rich celebrities.

Too bad "Pieta" didn't come out last week for Mother's Day. Because South Korean director Kim Ki-duk's film, which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, manages to capture the terrible, elemental power of mom like few films before.

Samantha Ofole-Prince, a British journalist of Caribbean heritage based in Los Angeles, applied for membership with the HFPA and was rejected, with only 33 of the group's 84 members voting in her favor. An anonymous figure at the HFP has gone public with the story, telling Sharon Waxman, a columnist at the on-line entertainment news site The Wrap, that members of the organization "insinuated, Jim Crow-style, that she was unqualified based on no evidence whatsoever (in fact, directly contradicted by actual evidence of her experience and qualifications). And they carried the vote.”

When J.J. Abrams started casting the villain role for "Star Trek Into Darkness," he was looking almost exclusively at actors of Latin descent.

Why, you ask?

Well, Abrams himself admitted early in the film's development that he was thinking seriously about adding to the mix Khan Noonien Singh – aka the guy who royally ticks off Captain Kirk in the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." In it, Khan is played by a Latin actor – the late Ricardo Montalbán – also known for his leading role in the long-running '70s and '80s television show "Fantasy Island."

A selection of jewelry belonging to Chopard, the exclusive Swiss jewelry design house, was stolen on Thursday evening from Suite Novotel Cannes Centre, a hotel located in the Cannes business district. An American Chopard employee was looking after the jewels; however, while the valuables had been locked in a safe, Cannes police are reporting the entire safe was heisted from the hotel. Authorities believe that the robbery may be an inside job, and employees of the hotel are being questioned.

Chopard has been a longtime supporter of the famous film festival on the French Riviera. They've been among the event's sponsors for sixteen years, and designed the Palme d'Or trophy, the coveted award for best film. Chopard has a team of forty employees at Cannes who work with celebrities to
