The Don’t Look Up Trailer Is Full of Stars and a Problematic Comet

We know the Earth’s imminent destruction by an asteroid could be entertaining or vastly silly, relying in your emotions about Michael Bay’s 1995 acition/sci-fi/shlock Armageddon. Could the Earth’s destruction by an errant comet be humorous? Netflix’s upcoming film Don’t Look Up goes to present it a attempt, and by this primary trailer, it stands a greater likelihood than Earth does.

Written and directed by Adam McKay of The Big Short and Anchorman fame, Don’t Look Up “tells the story of two low-level astronomers who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth.” Some individuals are extra chill about it than others:

The film has a very, absurdly over-talented solid, even excepting its Oscar-winning leads Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawerence. Just a few of them are blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em within the trailer, however there’s Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Ron Perlman, Arianda Grande, and Meryl Streep (taking part in the president, in fact).

DiCaprio isn’t precisely recognized for enjoying meek, nebbish members of the hoi polloi earlier than, however man if the film hasn’t managed to shlub him down. His depiction of a person having a panic assault—presumably at his discovery of the Earth’s imminent demise—is sort of genuine, however it’s additionally really a bit humorous simply to see the titular Wolf of Wall Street and Great Gatsby utterly overwhelmed by something, actually. Or possibly that’s simply me.

Don’t Look Back will premiere on Netflix on December 24, which can presumably make for a novel vacation film expertise. However, the film can be coming to theaters on December 10, for a restricted run that I’m extraordinarily assured exists solely so the film could be submitted to the Academy Awards. Still, appears good!
