Armageddon is coming, and no one seems to care.
That’s the premise of director Adam McKay’s (The Big Short, Vice) Don’t Look Up, a comedic cautionary tale about inaction in the face of certain disaster. So, basically, it’s about climate change.
In Don’t Look Up, disaster comes in the form of a planet-killing comet discovered by two concerned astronomers (Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence). They go on a media tour to convince people that this is a big deal, but nobody — not even the President of the United States (Meryl Streep) — gives a damn. This latest trailer shows everyone from Jonah Hill to Ariana Grande dismissing the comet, while Lawrence has a breakdown on national television and DiCaprio panics in a bathroom.
If you couldn’t already tell, Don’t Look Up features some serious starpower, with a cast including Rob Morgan, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, and more.
Don’t Look Up is in select theaters Dec. 10 and streaming on Netflix Dec. 24.
