Don’t Look Up (2021, D: McKay) S: Lawrence, Blanchett, DiCaprio, Hill, Chalamet, Streep - Netflix
Bouncing back from Vice, Adam McKay was all set to begin production this past spring on his next feature,Don’t Look Up, starring Jennifer Lawrence. While the pandemic halted those plans, the Netflix production is now gearing back with up with quite the insane cast.
Joining Lawrence and the previously announced Cate Blanchett and Rob Morgan will be Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Jonah Hill, Himesh Patel, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Matthew Perry, and Tomer Sisley. The film, which has been described as a comedy, tells the two low-level astronomers who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching asteroid that will destroy Earth.
Speaking to his influences, McKay said the film is a “dark satire in the school of Wag the Dog, Doctor Strangelove, and Network and if it is half as good as any of them, I will be happy.” For those worried that DiCaprio’s involvement may mean Killers of the Flower Moon will get delayed, thankfully that’s not the case as he’ll be able to complete both projects, with this one marking his first Netflix production.

Damn, that’s a hell of a cast!
Hopefully this is more along the lines of Vice and The Big Short and not McKay’s other comedies.
His other comedies are fine but they’re not in the same league as Vice and The Big Short.

Not sure whether it's makeup or that she's obviously lost some weight, but Streep looks pretty damn good.

Streep? What about Hill? I know he’s been going up and down, but he’s almost emaciated here.

Hill says a big part of why he lost weight was just giving up beer. If true, Damn.

My dad guzzles beer daily. At minimum a 15 pack a day and he's the skinniest dude I know: 6 foot 2 and only 135 pounds.
Meanwhile I only drink beer on occasion and I'm 6 foot 3 and around 240 pounds. smh

So this is along the same line of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World? If so, I'm. Seeking was one of my favorite films of that year.

I think this will be much better. I didn't love Seeking first time. I do have to give another shot. But this looks wittier, snappier. This almost seems like a David O. Russel movie. Can’t wait. So theaters and Netflix same day, 12/24, right?

I assume the whole thing is a cynical allusion to global warming.
Looks great. McKay’s turn with The Big Short was very interesting. This looks like more of the same and there’s nothing wrong with that.

This actually looks solid, and it is on Netflix so I will definitely watch. Should be a nice Christmas Eve treat.
