Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Reunite to Reflect on Classic Films Like Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead

Iconic duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are set to make a memorable appearance at the upcoming Awesome Con. Known for their captivating performances and collaborative projects alongside acclaimed writer/director Edgar Wright, they rose to prominence through a series of successful ventures, such as the cult classic sitcom Spaced, the genre-defining “zom-com” Shaun of the Dead, and the action-comedy Hot Fuzz. Each actor has since carved out impressive solo careers, with Frost featuring in hits like Attack the Block and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and Pegg starring in blockbuster franchises such as Mission: Impossible and Star Trek. Notably, they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakout film, Shaun of the Dead, in 2024.

As part of their appearance at Awesome Con, fans will have the opportunity to meet the talented pair on both Saturday and Sunday. Attendees can engage with Pegg and Frost through autographs and photo opportunities, and participate in an interactive panel session on the Main Stage. This is a fantastic chance for fans to delve into the duo’s beloved projects, though they may want to avoid inquiries about any potential reboot of Shaun of the Dead.
