The official trailer for Netflix's upcoming
film Don't Look Up has been released and it is packed with new footage from the
satire. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the lead, Don't
Look Up revolves around two astronauts trying to warn the world about a
planet-killing comet approaching Earth but no one takes them seriously.
Earlier in a teaser, we have been Leonardo
Dicaprio panting heavily and trying to warn the authorities about the apocalyptic
disaster.
In the new trailer, astronomy professor Dr
Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his student, Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer
Lawrence) are trying everything in their control to warn the world about the
comet. From knocking on the door of Orlean (Meryl Streep) – the President of
the United States – to appearing on morning news segments and meeting Ariana
Grande to even trying their hand at spreading the news on the internet, they
try everything in the book but fail, reports Hindustan Times.
When the government finally accepts their
warnings, they choose to find ways to mint money from the comet than focus on
rescuing the world. At one point, Randall and Kate are also arrested by the
FBI.
Don't Look Up is written and directed by
Academy Award winner Adam McKay (The Big Short) and also stars Mark Rylance,
Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (aka
Kid Cudi), Himesh Patel, Melanie Lynskey, Michael Chiklis and Tomer Sisley.
Speaking about roping in Jennifer and Meryl,
Adam McKay told Deadline that he first reached out to Jennifer. "I wrote
the role of [astronomer] Kate Dibiasky for her. Without giving anything away,
hers was the hardest road, which is to just tell the truth," he said.
"I wrote Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe for Rob
Morgan. I had worked with him on the Lakers series that we're doing for HBO and
I just loved him. So, there were a couple people I knew that I wanted, and
thank God, they got what I was trying to do, and they were in. And then, as
every director imagines, you have the President in your movie, and you have to
go to Meryl Streep. I just never imagined she would say yes, once you get Meryl
Streep, everyone else is more likely to be interested," he added.
