Remember that day they said the world was going to end? Yeah, well, it didn’t happen. Thus, we can look forward to a year of movies about the end of the world actually happening.

Star Simon Pegg shared the first image from The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright’s new movie that stars Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan.

In theaters October 25 2013, “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.” READ MORE
