According to Pegg, the writing process was very fun, but there were times when he found himself experiencing ups and downs.
"It was emotional highs and lows all the way because we were under a lot of pressure, because the timeframe was a lot smaller than it would normally be," he told ComingSoon.net in a new interview, according to IGN. "You write a film of that size, you usually get a year or so, but I think we started maybe six months before we went into production, if that. Just under six months and we were already in pre-production, which meant that things had to be designed and set pieces had to be created and the pressure on us to deliver was extraordinary."
Despite the pressures of creating the third installment of the popular movie franchise, Pegg explained that he and his team made it work and ended up having loads of fun.
Aside from the epic sci-fi film hitting theaters next summer, Pegg is also set to star in the romantic comedy Man Up opposite Lake Bell. In this project, Bell and Pegg are two strangers that find each other on a random night and find out that there could be much more than they expected in one another.
