Formerly called 'The Apocalypse,' Seth Rogen and 'Superbad's Evan Goldberg are writing and directing a cataclysmic comedy now dubbed 'The End of the World.' The film is based on a short Rogen and Jay Baruchel made years ago called, not-so-enigmatically, 'Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse' in which the two play themselves in an apartment as the world ends outside. Already aboard their gargantuan cast for the feature version are Rogen and Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, and Aziz Ansari. It's also recently been reported that Jason Segel and David Krumholtz ('Numbers') will cameo as themselves in the film. With all these comedians crammed into one movie, it seems only natural to add...Hermione Granger into the mix...right? Well it now appears that indeed Emma Watson (The 'Harry Potter' franchise) will make a cameo in the film as well. She will also be playing herself. No word yet on when shooting is to begin.
There are things that really interest me about this project and things that concern me about it. On the one hand, I'm a big fan of apocalyptic fiction and we don't see too many comedies about it. I also like the idea of these guys all playing themselves in so much as it's also been stated that not all of them are going to make it out alive; lending a note of realism to the apocalyptic theme. So yes, conceptually I'm on board. I'm also a big Harry Potter fan and I was consistently impressed with Watson's performance as Hermione Granger, so it'll be nice to see her showcase her talents in other genres. However, I'm concerned that since all the actors are playing themselves, that her cameo will be little more than her being subjected to a volley "I always wanted to do Hermione" jokes. I'm not trying to judge the film for things it hasn't done yet, but it is a concern I have. I guess I'm just saying that I hope they're able to utilize her brief time on screen for more than just "wow, you're the girl from Harry Potter" gags.
What do you guys think? Does the inclusion of Watson enhance your interest in 'End of the World?'

Comment by IAmDeadpool on May 1, 2012 at 3:49pm All fine and dandy, but I'm waiting for the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost film myself.
And I agree with OdO about its quality.
Comment by ThatDudeWhoReviews on May 1, 2012 at 2:08pm No interest in the movie at all.

Comment by Charmingman93 on May 1, 2012 at 2:00pm I'm looking forward to this, but I'm more eager to watch the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost film more
She is downright beautiful!
Comment by AliLovesFilm on May 1, 2012 at 12:41pm Emma Watson playing Hermione? or just Emma Watson being herself, its not an act! :) This film will be funny though, so should be good to watch, they should give Emma a bigger part than a cameo, pointless having her in it if its only a couple of lines, and they should definitely rip her character from harry potter as much as possible.lol They should have Simon Pegg and Nik Frost instead of Emma, since they have already done an end of the world flick just like this, except with zombies.
Comment by Lt. Commander Armstrong on May 1, 2012 at 12:27pm Damn, I was hoping she would show up in the next Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost flick.
Comment by The Ultimate "Psych" Fan on May 1, 2012 at 12:20pm Oh, and for anyone who's flashing back to Seltzer-Friedberg movies when you hear the words "You're So-and-So from So-and-So Gaga" just remember, the worst one of those jokes that this movie does, will better than then best joke in any of those movies.
Comment by The Ultimate "Psych" Fan on May 1, 2012 at 12:15pm *Wolf Whistles* Long hair or short hair, Emma Watson is a fox.
