One film will feature the cream of Hollywood cinema, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and singer Ariana Grande.
Astronomy student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) discover that a comet is orbiting the Solar System. The problem is that it is on a collision course with Earth – and if that wasn’t enough – nobody cares about it. It turns out that trying to warn humanity about the deadly threat of Mount Everest’s size leads to many awkward situations. With the help of dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall storm the media. They begin with the office of the carefree Mayor of Orleans (Meryl Streep) and her loyal son Jason (Jonah Hill), who is also her chief of staff, and end with the entertaining morning show The Daily Rip hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). There are only six months until the comet collides with Earth, and mastering the 24-hour cycle of information and getting the attention of a public fascinated with social media before it’s too late turns out to be a shockingly comical experience. What does it take to make the world just look up?
“Don’t Look Up” is written and directed by Oscar® winner Adam McKay ( Big Short ). The remaining roles will be starring Mark Rylance, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), Himesh Patel, Melanie Lynskey, Michael Chiklis and Tomer Sisley.
The title will be released on December 10 in selected theaters and on Netflix on December 24.
