Just about every major comedian in Hollywood decided to gang up, go meta, and have some fun with the apocalypse, and by the look of things we’ll all be glad they did.
This Is The End –formerly The End Of The World— is about a group of actors playing themselves after the world has ended. The main group consists of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, and Jay Baruchel, with a heap of supporting turns from folks like Paul Rudd, Aziz Ansari, Jason Segel, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, and, even though the idea of his death is a joke in the tease, Michael Cera. This all evolved out of a short called Jay & Seth Vs. The Apocalypse from several years ago, and is directed by Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg.
Check it out. I found every bit of it hilarious.
Oh, and it appears someone snagged the trailer in low-quality before Yahoo! fully put the thing up, so pardon the shit quality (for the time being).
So, are you crossing your fingers just a bit tighter that the world makes it through tomorrow and you get to see this? I sure am.
