We have some good news today regarding Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright’s latest film, The World’s End. While originally scheduled for release in the US on October 25th, we're going to be able to see it two months early.
The World's End will now be released on August 23rd and will be competing against other genre films The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and You're Next. Those in the UK will still have a slightly earlier release of the movie on August 14th.
“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 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 stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan, and Rosamund Pike. Here are the previously released first photos (via Empire):
