Many starry names turned up the heat at the Hollywood premiere of "The World's End" on Wednesday evening, August 21. Director Edgar Wright showed up with his stars Simon Pegg, Rosamund Pike, who looked stunning in a Marios Schwab dress, and Nick Frost. Together, they posed on the red carpet rolled out at the Cinerama Dome for shutterbugs.

The night got even more special and merrier with several famous guests arriving there to give support to the movie. Among them were Brandon Routh, Jack Black, Brie Larson, Chris Hardwick, Ed Helms, John Cho, Esme Bianco and "The Avengers" helmer Joss Whedon.

Focus Features then threw an after party taking place at British pub The Cat and Fiddle, where more well-known figures enjoyed the festivity. Clifton Collins Jr., Dave Grohl, Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan were in attendance. "F**king fantastic night," Edgar Wright shouted, as quoted by Variety.

In "The World's End", five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival. Wright directs from a script he wrote with leading man Pegg.

The film will arrive in U.S. theaters on Friday, August 23.
