New images from apocalypse comedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

The glut of apocalyptic films coming out this year needed something: a comedic take. SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD appears poised to fill that need and do a good job of it.

Plot: Set in a too-near future, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World explores what people will do when humanity’s last days are at hand. Can one man find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightley) converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.
