The end of life on Earth as we know it is such a fun subject matter that filmmakers just can’t stop themselves from making movies in which we’re all doomed. And Rapture-Palooza – coming to theaters and Video on Demand on June 7 – is another movie about the apocalypse, but at least it takes a new approach.
Lionsgate’s showing off a new trailer for the comedy starring Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Thomas Lennon, Ana Gasteyer, John Michael Higgins, and Tyler Labine, and directed by Paul Middleditch.
The Plot:
When the Apocalypse actually happens and a billion people are raptured up to heaven, Lindsey (Kendrick) and her boyfriend Ben (Daley) are left behind in suburban Seattle. The young couple try their best to lead a normal life surrounded by talking locusts, blood rain showers, and pot-smoking wraiths. But when the Anti-Christ (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, 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.
