The apocalypse is coming to theaters and VOD on June 7 with the new horror comedy, ‘Rapture-Palooza.’ But audiences can experience the catastrophe from director Paul Middleditch’s film now with the project’s newly released first image. Such actors as Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, Rob Corddry, Ana Gasteyer, Ken Jeong and Tyler Labine are set to contend with the effects of the Rapture in the movie, which is set to be released by Lionsgate.

‘Rapture-Palooza’ follows the after effects of the Apocalypse, in which a billion people are raptured up to heaven. However, Lindsey (Kendrick) and her boyfriend, Ben (John Francis Daley), are left behind in suburban Seattle. The young couple tries their best to lead a normal life, even though they’re surrounded by talking locusts, blood rain showers and pot-smoking wraiths. But when The Beast (Robinson) makes his homes in their neighborhood, Lindsey becomes the object of his affection. With the help of her family, friends and a lawn-mowing zombie neighbor (Tom Lennon), the young couple set off to stop the Anti-Christ from taking her as his bride, and try to save the world in the process.

Check out the new first image from ‘rapture-Palooza’ below.
