Edgar Wright’s new sci-fi comedy ‘The World’s End’ hits UK theatres this Friday (at long last!) and we cannot wait. A new poster from the final installment in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, which also bought us genre classics ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Hot Fuzz’, has arrived at this months Comic Con courtesy of artist Tommy Lee Edwards. ‘The World’s End’ stars Simon Pegg (‘Hot Fuzz’) and Nick Frost (‘Shaun of the Dead’), Rosamund Pike (‘Jack Reacher’), Martin Freeman (‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’), Paddy Considine (‘Dead Man’s Shoes’) and Eddie Marsan (‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’). Check out the new poster below.
“20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell-bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.”
‘The World’s End’ lands in US theatres on 23 August.
