“What if you were stuck in a house with your friends as the world was ending outside?” That’s the question Seth Rogen and his directing partner Evan Goldberg answer in the comedy “This Is The End.”
An alcohol-fueled, potty-mouthed movie which is sure to offend a few, it follows six friends – who just happen to be James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson — all playing themselves, who are trapped in Franco’s house as the Apocalypse occurs.
Commenting on the announcement, Rory Bruer, president of Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures, said, “This Is The End really struck a chord with comedy moviegoers this summer. For everyone who didn’t get a chance to see it – or saw it and loved it and wants to see it again on the big screen – we are thrilled to have it back in theaters.”
With ridiculously funny cameos from Emma Watson and Channing Tatum “This Is The End” is fertile ground for comedy and has already taken in $96.8 million to date at the domestic box office.
Sony Pictures will re-releases the comedy hit in several theaters beginning this Friday, September 6.
