Edgar Wright: Well, when we made Shaun of the Dead, we were first-time feature-makers. Back then, it was just a real struggle to get it made. So, really, you just feel fortunate, like, "Oh, we get to make a feature film and that's amazing." We had no other scripts in the drawer. So, it wasn't until after Hot Fuzz that the idea for a third one came about. And, because we had a couple of linking, sillier running jokes like the ice cream and the fence-jumping, you start to think about it. And then we started to realize when we began work on the third one that there were themes that linking the movies: growing up, taking responsibility, the dangers of perpetual adolescence, and the idea of an individual vs. the collective. We sort of realized that there was a way to make a third one that wasn't just a stand alone film, but actually wrapped up those themes and made it final. When the idea came about to make a film about a man who desperately wants to be 18 again and go in the reverse direction of Shaun in Shaun of the Dead or Nicholas Angel in Hot Fuzz, it became a cautionary tale about what happens when you try to recapture former glories.
