This is the End looks like either a ridiculously self-indulgent conglomerate of celebrities riffing on themselves, or an enormously fun comedian team-up movie. It might just end up being both. The new trailer for the film showcases just how many famous people are in it, playing fictional versions of themselves.

The comedy This Is the End follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption.

The highlight of the trailer is Emma Watson robbing James Franco, Seth Rogen, et al at axepoint, leading to the soon-to-be-quoted everywhere line, “Hermione just stole all our shit.” But there’s also Michael Cera getting impaled by a falling pole, Aziz Ansari being kicked into a pit, and much more goofiness. But don’t let me spoil all the best stuff. Check out the trailer below. This Is the End comes out June 12th.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
