Simon Pegg's movie costume from The World's End on display...

There's been a lot of talk about director Edgar Wright's exit from Marvel's Ant-Man movie, but before he was focusing on the diminutive hero he was finishing his Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy of comedy movies, 2004's Shaun of the Dead, 2007's Hot Fuzz and 2013's The World's End, which starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

as Gary King in The World's End

After apocalyptic zombie and cop buddy action movies, the third installment was a science fiction comedy in which Simon Pegg played cocky loser, 'Gary King', on a pub crawl reunion with his old school friends where they come face to face with a robot invasion in their hometown of Newton Haven.

Guy Speranza was Costume Designer on the movie and you can see more original costumes and props from The World's End on display at the ArcLight Hollywood cinema when it was released in the USA.

This costume was photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 15, 2014 and if you like this, be sure to take a look at the other cinematic treasures on display at the film and TV archive exhibit on my most recent visit.

Picture cars from The Mummy and Public Enemies on display...

For a change of pace here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props I thought I'd feature two picture cars that I spied on my most recent visit to Universal Studios Hollywood in the Upper Lot on April 15, 2014, which played a part in 1999's The Mummy and 2009's Public Enemies.

Secondly, this black 1935 Chevrolet Model EC-601 featured in 2009's Public Enemies, which starred Johnny Depp as the notorious bank robber 'John Dillinger' during America's Great Depression.

I believe the French Police logo has been added to this car after the film to fit in with the French-themed area within the amusement park.

Be sure to also take a look at these original costumes from Public Enemies worn by Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard, alongside screen-used props featured in the movie.

The Boxtrolls character concepts, costumes, faces and figures on display...

To help promote the forthcoming new 3D animated feature from Portland-based Laika Studios, The Boxtrolls, Universal Studios Hollywood had an extensive display of character concepts, costumes, faces and stop-motion figures on display at the NBC Universal Experience exhibit on April 15, 2014.

and concept designs from The Boxtrolls

The movie is based on Alan Snow's fantasy adventure novel Here Be Monsters! and follows past Laika stop-motion animation movies, Coraline and ParaNorman, but is a hybrid of stop-motion and computer-generated effects.

The story follows a young orphaned boy named 'Eggs' in a Victorian-Era town who has been raised by a race of subterranean cavern-dwelling trash-collecting creatures, who must be saved by their human ward when they are targeted by an evil pest exterminator named 'Archibald Snatcher'.

The Boxtrolls stop-motion character figures

I'm always amazed at the sheer detail that goes into stop-motion creations, from the miniature costumes and faces, to the intricate sets these puppets inhabit, just look at the elaborate detail of the 'Lord and Lady Portley-Rind' characters.

The Boxtrolls who wear recycled cardboard boxes the way turtles wear their shells, live beneath the town of Cheesebridge and exist by dumpster-diving and collecting the junk left behind by the town's residents, although the townspeople believe they emerge from the sewers to steal their cheese and children at night.

If you like this Laika Studios exhibit, be sure to also check out these stop-motion puppets and sets from ParaNorman and from the world of Coraline.

Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde movie costumes from the Endless Love remake...

Movie studios seem to have a fascination with remaking classic movies (more than often not as well) and one of the latest from this year is the reimagined romance, Endless Love, which originally starred Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt as the teens madly in love in 1981, but now stars the young talents of Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde, in the second big screen adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel.
