WonderCon 2013: This is The End of Seth Rogen

Funnymen Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson previewed their apocalyptic comedy This Is the End for fans at Saturday's WonderCon. Please be advised of some spoilers ahead due to the nature of the footage screened.

Top 10 Seth Rogen Moments

The movie, scripted and co-directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who was also at WonderCon, follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate Los Angeles. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside.  Eventually, they are forced to leave the house, facing their fate and the true meaning of friendship and redemption. The cast also includes James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera and Emma Watson.

The actors play themselves in the movie -- OK, heightened versions of themselves -- with one of the high points being seeing which stars get killed and how. The first scene screened was a party at Franco's house when the apocalypse hits. The celeb guests include Michael Cera, who is coked up and slapping Rihanna on the ass (which prompts her to then smack the crap out of him). The celebs all run outside only to find the Hollywood Hills ablaze and the earth opening up beneath the feet. We then witness a series of stars perish in a series of hilariously gruesome ways, including falling into a fiery abyss through a chasm in the ground.

The second scene shown was called "The Exorcism of Jonah Hill." That pretty much sums itl up, doesn't it? Suffice to say exclamations of "The power of Christ compels you!" isn't always as effective as these guys think.

This is The End opens June 12.
