And it’s not just acting royalty that will appear in the film, with mega-successful musicians Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi also joining the cast.

Don’t look for the plot
Don’t Look Up follows two low-level astronomers who discover that an asteroid is on its way to destroy Earth and they have to go on a giant media tour to warn humanity, which presumably involves several hilarious mishaps and awkward interviews.
The film is being written and directed by Adam McKay, who honed his comedic skills directing films like Step Brothers and Anchorman, but recently directed Oscar films like The Big Short and Vice.
McKay says, “I am very excited to do this movie with Jen Lawrence. She is what people in the 17th century used to call “an act of dynamite.” And the fact that Netflix sees this movie as a global comedy sets the bar very high for me and my team in an exciting and motivating way. “
Is there a trailer for Don’t Look Up?
There’s no trailer yet, but as soon as it’s available we’ll update this page accordingly.
