Synopsis

"Nice knowing you."

Taking its audience on a humorous, moving, and intimate journey, SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD is the brand new comedy-drama debut from Lorene Scafaria (NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST).

The film is set against the ominous backdrop of Earth's final days and stars Golden Globe Award winner Steve Carell and Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley as Dodge and Perry. These two unlikely companions set out on an epic road journey as a 70-mile-wide asteroid hurtles towards Earth.

Desperate to track down his long-lost love and find a way to reach her far-away family, Dodge and Penny are determined to persevere on their mission. Along the way, they learn the lengths people are willing to go to be truly happy, before they meet their final demise.
