Seeking a Friend for the End of the World Stars Steve Carell and Keira Knightley
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star in a new sci-fi movie “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World”.
Plot: An asteroid is heading towards the Earth, scheduled to smack down in a week, and in the global panic and resignation that ensue, two lost souls find each other.
Dodge (Carell), a meek insurance adjustor who has spent his life avoiding the true heaviness of human existence. He hasn't spoken to his dad in over two decades, and his wife has taken the apocalypse as a good excuse to make a run for it. Dodge has sleptwalked through their marriage, pining for his high school sweetheart who got away. When a letter appears from said sweetheart telling him that she's always regretted their split, Dodge decides to hit the road and find her before it's too late for real.
Going along for the ride is Dodge's emotionally scattered downstairs neighbor. Penny (Keira Knightley) sleeps too much, tends to be flakey, and refers to her vintage record collection as her "friends." Her history of chasing the wrong men has kept her from seeing her family back in England for far too long. She missed her opportunity to catch the last flight over the Atlantic - as she puts it, she's even fifteen minutes late for the end of the world--and to help her fix this, Dodge offers to take her to someone he knows who has a plane. She will lend him emotional support, and he will provide the stability to make sure she gets where she needs to go.
On the road trip, Penny will teach Dodge to loosen up and have some fun, and he'll help her focus on the positive, even as he's mired down by negativity himself.
Written and directed by Lorene Scarfaria, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" also stars Adam Brody, William Peterson, Amy Schumer, Melanie Lynskey, T.J. Miller, Connie Britton, and Rob Huebel.
