First Look: ‘Rapture-Palooza’ with Anna Kendrick

The last time we saw Anna Kendrick on the big screen she was singing her heart out – and playing with cups in Pitch Perfect. But her new film, the horror comedy Rapture-Palooza, doesn’t seem to be the sort of movie that will give her many opportunities to show off her singing ability.

Lionsgate’s just released this first photo from the apocalyptic comedy heading to theaters and VOD on June 7, 2013 with Kendrick in a starring role. The cast also includes Paul Scheer, Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, and John Francis Daley.

The Plot: When the Apocalypse actually happens, and a billion people are raptured up to heaven, Lindsey (Anna Kendrick) and her boyfriend Ben (John Francis Daley) are left behind in suburban Seattle. The young couple tries their best to lead a normal life surrounded by talking locusts, blood rain showers and pot-smoking wraiths. But when The Beast (Craig Robinson) makes his home base in their neighborhood, Lindsey finds herself the object of his affection.

With the help of her family, friends and a lawn-mowing zombie neighbor (Tom Lennon), the young couple set off to stop the Anti-Christ from taking her as his bride…and just maybe, saving the world in the process.
