Brand New Clip of ‘Don’t Look Up’ Released During Netflix’s TUDUM Event

Netflix

A brand new clip of Adam McKay’s upcoming Netflix film Don’t Look Up was shown at Netflix’s virtual TUDUM event.

The very Trump-esque President Orlean (Meryl Streep) is in a meeting with scientists Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) discussing an incoming asteroid that will destroy the Earth as we know it. In a very anti-science mindset that we’ve come to be surrounded by in recent years, Orlean and her Chief of Staff/son, Jason (Jonah Hill), downplay the severity of the 99.78% chance of this asteroid hitting the Earth. But hey, at least it’s not 100%! So, let’s sit tight and assess …

“Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem — it’s on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care. Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it’s too late proves shockingly comical — what will it take to get the world to just look up?!”

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, ark Rylance, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), Himesh Patel, Melanie Lynskey, Michael Chiklis, and Tomer Sisley. Captain America star Chris Evans is also confirmed to have a cameo!

Don’t Look Up will premiere in theaters on December 10 and on Netflix December 24.
