Stills from 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'

Patton Oswalt is pure money. This guy brings indie cred to product-y movies. That jacket is a mess, though. Shoot the tailor, or I guess, in this case, the guy that took the jacket out of the box, put it on a hanger, stuck it on the rack, and it marked down for quick sale. Still, it looks good on Oswalt and I mean that in the best possible way.

MTV has more.

Must See Trailer for 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'

The thing this flick has is that 'what's going to happen next' energy. If you care at all, if this story connects with you on any level, you have to know -- how's it going to end? What's the twist? There must be a snappy ending, a surprise, something worth it all. There must.

Trailer spools out with confidence. I don't think I've ever been as impressed by Steve Carell or Keira Knightley. They just click in this.

I put the poster up a couple days ago.

Poster for 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'

I'm going out on a limb -- this will be great. People will love this. May not rake at the box office -- might, but probably not -- but will be well done, appreciated.

Great poster. One of the best US posters I've seen. Manages to be character-centric and, along with that cute and on-the-nose title, serves up the plot in a nutshell.

For the detail-oriented, here's the synopsis:

As an asteroid nears Earth, a man finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic. He decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart. Accompanying him is a neighbor who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan.

Lorene Scafaria (who acted in 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' and 'The Nines'), makes her directorial debut. With Steve Carell and Keira Knightley -- perfect, couldn't be better. I see nothing but a charming, engaging film.

The tag "Nice knowing you" puts a tidy bow on the package.
