New posters for The World’s End invade!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Two new posters for Edgar Wright’s THE WORLD’S END have landed, one from the US and one from the UK. They both pass along the same general idea, which is that annihilation is imminent so we had better get drinkin’! (At least, that’s what I take away from them. And everything else, actually…

In The World’s End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub – The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realise 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 WOLRD’S END stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike. It opens in the UK on July 19th and in the US on August 23rd.
