The Worlds End

Focus Features has revealed two new posters for The World's End, hitting UK theaters on July 19 before opening in North American theaters on August 23rd.  Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film following the successes Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

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 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 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. Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike co-star.
