Martin Freeman in Simon Pegg's The World's End

[katikat]

Simon Pegg, Eddie Marsan... and MARTIN FREEMAN! Gosh, isn't he the cutest? All slick and buttoned up while the others look like slackers? I bet he will be hilarious. I just love it that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost keep casting the same actors in their movies, Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy among others, like in Hot Fuzz and now in The World's End. BTW, the synopsis...

20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.
