The first red-band trailer and poster has arrived for Anna Kendrick and Craig Robinson’s crazy comedy RAPTURE-PALOOZA. The plot centres on two teens who battle their way through a oncoming religious apocalypse in a mission to defeat the Antichrist, played by Robinson. John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Thomas Lennon (who have all collaborated on similarly-themed HELL BABY) co-star alongside annoying prized-prick Ken Jeong and Tyler Labine. Paul Middleditch directs from a script by BILL & TED creator Chris Matheson (who’s also the son of the legendary writer Richard).
The official plot synopsis is:
When the Apocalypse actually happens and a billion people are raptured up to heaven, Lindsey and her boyfriend Ben 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 makes his home base in their neighbourhood, Lindsey finds herself the object of his affection. With the help of her family, friends and a lawn-mowing zombie neighbour, 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.
The film is set to be released in the US on 7th June simultaneously in cinemas and on VOD but no word on a UK date.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
