Starring James Franco as James Franco, This Is The End is a surprisingly clever and very funny movie about a gaggle of celebrities trying to survive the end of the world.

At the end of the movie, Franco - after electing to sacrifice himself to save Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel - is eaten alive by Danny McBride and a gang of hungry cannibals.

Funnily enough, Franco had already described this very outcome much earlier in the film, during a scene where he and Rogen are discussing ideas for Pineapple Express 2's ending.

After Rogen admits he doesn't know how the movie should end, Franco interjects with his own suggestion: "Danny's trying to kill us, and I sacrifice myself for you... and Danny f***in' eats me."

This is exactly the way This Is The End pans out, with McBride eventually munching on Franco's face.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
