I don’t know if I’m going to the movie theater too often or if there are fewer movies coming out, but it’s rare that I see a trailer for a film that I haven’t even heard of on the big screen. So while seeing Safe House last night, I was delighted to stumble across Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.
Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity’s last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightley) converge, the two change each other’s outlook on the world, as well as everyone they come in contact with. And if you liked Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, the film is also the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria.
Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World hits theaters June 22, 2012.
