The comedy is the latest from “The Big Short” filmmaker Adam McKay. McKay’s latest unites Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence for an end-of-the-world comedy that satirizes the country’s political divide. The cast also includes heavy-hitters such as Meryl Streep, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Timothée Chalamet, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, and Scott Mescudi.
“Don’t Look Up” stars DiCaprio and Lawrence as Dr. Randall Mindy and Dr. Kate Dibiasky, two low-level astronomers forced to travel around the U.S. to warn the population that a giant meteor is heading straight towards the planet. Pre-released clips from the film show the astronomers trying and failing to communicate their message to the President of the United States, a MAGA-type figure played by Meryl Streep, and to two sunny-minded morning television hosts played by Blanchett and Perry.
DON’T LOOK UP arrives on Netflix December 24, 2021.
