Steve Carell's 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'

What would you do if you had three weeks left to live before the world came crashing down around you?

If you're anything like Steve Carell's character in the forthcoming romantic comedy, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," you'd find a way to reunite with a long-lost love.

The trailer for Lorene Scafaria's film has arrived, and we see Carell's character, Dodge, hit the road with Keira Knightley's Penny to track down his first love as well as Penny's family before an asteroid called "Matilda" hits the Earth in three weeks.

It's a dire topic, but the trailer shows that Scafaria, who also wrote the project, takes a lighthearted approach.

With everyone knowing when the end will come, the radio station is counting down "to the end of days...along with all your classic rock favorites," and employers encourage their workers to don their casual Friday wear everyday of the week.

Carell's Dodge jokes before the end of the clip, "I feel like I'm getting my mid-life crisis in just under the wire."

"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" is set to arrive June 22.

    Hi! I was so surprised to stumble upon your webblog incidentally and I am pleased I did. It has been quite some time since I came across such an absorbing post, dealing with this interesting theme. Interesting angle of view!I've been surfing online greater than three hours nowadays. It's pretty value sufficient for me. If all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet can be a lot more helpful than ever before. Where else could anybody get that kind of info in such an ideal way of writing? I've a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

    Tomtgio, I'm sure the Mets organization was counting on most fans feeling like you do and not like I do. I'm glad it doesn't ruin the experience for some fans. I just can't pretend I fit in that category.I agree that we're definitely closer and lower and it nice to not start that endless hike up the Shea upper deck. It certainly could be quite daunting.But I really don't like missing those handful of plays every game, especially since they're the key plays. We're going to miss balls that roll to the wall, balls that get run down at the last moment and balls that leave the park. Those could be game-changing moments.I just don't want to give up the view of the whole field. And I'm not sure I buy the Mets'explanation that it was unavoidable. You add those two factors up and you get my frustration. And it's even more frustrating because I love nearly every other aspect of the park. It just happens that the one thing I really don't like is something I consider to be a pretty big issue.

    • If it was so powerful--

      how did I access it-no power hon power is when you cannot figure it out. powerless is when you can figure it all out.
      if she had power...I would have never know.

      learn what power and powerless mean...there are differences.

    One thing is that often one of the most typical incentives for utilizing your cards is a cash-back or even rebate offer. Generally, you'll receive 1-5% back on various acquisitions. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% again on most expenses, and 5% back again on purchases made at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores in addition to 'member merchants'.

    naturally like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to inform the truth then again I'll definitely come back again.

    Have you not figured out by now CNN's "moderator" is a program with keywords it has been told to recognize & remove entries with those words in them? That being said, if CNN doesn't give a carp, why should you?

      Which is why CNN and all the other desperate-for-our-attention news sites should discontinue this absurd practice of allowing readers to leave comments. More are like this crazy's (angry, ranting, or obscene) than a sane human's.

      Mr/Ms Moderator: The person that I am replying to is a piece of human trash. He/she is not to be able to follow the Rules of Conduct for your website and I would like to have his/her account deleted. Most two year old children do not use the language that he/she does. Pure filth and utter trash.
