"Don't Look Up" by director Adam McKay (53, "The Big Short") has a truly record-breaking top cast. Leonardo DiCaprio (46), Meryl Streep (72), Cate Blanchett (52), Ariana Grande (28), Jennifer Lawrence (31) and Timothée Chalamet (25) were in charge of the science fiction comedy from Netflix the camera. On Wednesday (September 8th), the streaming service published a first trailer and several still photos.
In the almost 80-second clip, Oscar winner DiCaprio ("The Revenant") plays the astronomer Dr. to see Randall Mindy. The scientist, who has just made the shocking discovery of a comet hurtling towards Earth together with his student Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence), experiences a real panic attack and tries to calm himself with the words "You are here now, you are here now".
DiCaprio and Lawrence fall on deaf ears everywhere
Together, Mindy and Dibiasky, US President Janie Orlean (Streep) and her entourage in the White House, as well as the public, try to draw attention to the impending catastrophe with the help of talk show appearances. But nobody seems to care about their warnings. "This will affect the entire planet," explains DiCaprio's character in a joint scene with Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill (37), who embodies the president's son Jason. "Do you know how many 'The world is going to end' meetings we've had over the past few years?" President Orlean asks stoically.
"Don't Look Up" starts on Christmas Eve
Oscar winner Adam McKay not only directed, but also wrote and co-produced Don't Look Up. Netflix announced the star cast, which also includes "Friends" star Matthew Perry (52) and Himesh Patel (30), in October last year. Subscribers to the streaming provider will be able to enjoy the eagerly awaited film from Christmas Eve (December 24) - and a start in cinemas is also currently planned. SpotOnNews
