Not to be overshadowed by rival “friends vs. the apocalypse” flick THIS IS THE END, which debuted its first trailer earlier today, Working Title Films have unveiled a brand new pic from Edgar Wright’s feverishly anticpated THE WORLD’S END. Check it out below to see the line-up of old friends who reunite to complete the pub crawl they first attempted in their twenties… while all hell breaks loose. As to what that apocalyptic scenario may be, Wright and Pegg have yet to reveal.

Synopsis: 

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.

THE WORLD’S END opens August 14th 2013 (UK) and October 25th (US).
