Don’t Look Up unless you want to see a new clip from Adam McKay’s star-studded new comedy
The apocalyptic comedy stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett—basically, enough A-listers to make the Knives Out crew jealous
The first trailer for Don’t Look Up, Adam McKay’s Netflix dark sci-fi comedy about the end of the world, was heavy on the heavy breathing and Hollywood A-listers, but a little light on the details of the coming apocalypse. From what we gathered, a comet is on a collision course with the Earth, and it’s set to wreak all kinds of havoc before it finally pulverizes our planet. Two astronomers, Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), go on a massive media tour to warn people, including President Meryl Streep (actually, Janie Orlean) and her son and chief of staff Jason (Jonah Hill).
But POTUS Streep and her son find the news to be a real bummer, and dismiss the astronomers’ concerns. By the looks of it, the looming cataclysm is also a tough sell for broadcast media types, like the one played by Tyler Perry, and basically anyone that Kate and Randall talk to about it. We’re not sure how Timothée Chalamet’s character feels about the whole thing, but we’d like to think he’d at least try to figure out how to make the most of the six months humanity has left before annihilation.
