A new trailer for Edgar Wright’s (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) upcoming comedy The World’s End was just released for distribution around the U.K.
In The World’s End, five old friends make a second attempt at completing “The Golden Mile” bar crawl in their old town. The final bar on the crawl is called The World’s End, and to get there they’ll face many obstacles – some much larger than simple pint drinking in the eleven bars before it. The villains taking over the area appear to be a group of robots.
The World’s End’s official synopsis follows:
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, 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.
The five friends in The World’s End are played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Paddy Considine, and Martin Freeman. It opens in theaters July 19 in the U.K. and August 23 in the U.S. We’re looking forward to seeing Wright’s latest piece of work!
Pegg was most recently seen in Star Trek Into Darkness and offered up a nice bit of comedic relief. Freeman stars in BBC’s Sherlock and Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy.
