Looks like it's the year for decent films about our demise.

I rather like the look of "Rapturepalooza", although who knows? Anyway, what do you, the viewers at home, think?

Shouldn't they have released all of these in 2012?  I mean come on what.

Maybe they were all watching the episode of The One Show about how the world might be ending last December and got lightbulbs above their heads at the same moment.

It does seem a bit like 2012 came around and everyone started talking about the end of the world, a bunch of studios simultaneously got the idea to capitalise on it and didn't consider that a film usually takes longer than a year to make, from idea to release. 

There was a trailer for that 'This Is The End' piece of shit before almost every film I saw towards the end of last year, and then it just stopped and nobody talked about it again and it's not being released until June.  Marketing cuntery.

To be fair, 'This Is The End' is a feature adaptation of a really low-budget short film they made in like, 2007.

Rapturepalooza is baffling. It has a fucking spectacular cast, but a trailer that wouldn't feel out of place advertising a Friedberg & Seltzer movie.
