Edgar Wright's apocalyptic comedy is in the works for Blu-ray in November.
In an early announcement to retailers, Universal Studios says 'The World’s End' will have a Blu-ray release on November 19.

This is the third and final film in Wright’s The Ultimate Three Flavors Cornetto® Trilogy, which also features hits 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz.'
