First Trailer Released For Edgar Wright’s ‘The World’s End’

Following the bad-ass new teaser poster from a few days back, Universal Pictures has (finally) released the first trailer for Edgar Wright’s upcoming end-of-the-world comedy, fittingly titled The World’s End.

We saw the first trailer for Ender’s Game earlier today, but it’s crystal clear that The World’s End has won the week (well, unless the trailer for Alfonso Caurón’s Gravity really impresses). This trailer is awesome. Don’t take my word for it however, check out the preview below!

The World’s End stars Martin Freeman, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, David Bradley, and plenty of other awesome blokes. Again, watch the hilarious trailer below, and let us know what you think! The full feature hits North American theatres on August 23rd.

20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent 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 home town 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.
