We shared a teaser with you a few months back, but now John Dies at the End has a full-length trailer. Based on the novel of the same name written by Jason Pargin, the movie stars two college dropouts (Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes) who discover a new drug that allows the user to drift across time and dimensions. The problem is once they come back they aren’t always human. Can the pair of unlikely heroes stop an insidious alien invasion? With a title like John Dies at the End I’m guessing the chances aren’t great. Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown, Glynn Turman, Allison Weissman, and Doug Jones also star. Adapted and directed by Don Coscarelli (Bubba Ho-Tep, Phantasm) the movie will open in theaters on January 25th.
