Wow. Adam McKay is building one of the most impressive casts in recent history for his upcoming Netflix film, Don’t Look Up.
It was just announced that Chris Evans will join the project, which is huge news, but it’s kinda like, “Oh, another one? Yawn.” because so many stars have already been attached to this project.
This movie already has Jennifer Lawrence, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Kid Cudi, and let’s throw in Matthew Perry as well.
That is truly impressive. I mean, sometimes movies with so many stars fail because you have all these big personalities coming together, but McKay is talented enough to handle it all.
McKay will write, direct and co-produce along with Kevin Messick under McKay’s Hyperobject Industries Banner.
The film follows two low-level astronomers who embark on a media tour to warn mankind of an approaching asteroid that will destroy Earth. Details are unknown of who Evans would be playing.
It certainly sounds like an interesting premise, and with all this incredible talent attached, I have high hopes for this movie.
Filming is currently happening right now in Boston, which means it should be released sometime in 2021. We’ll keep you posted.
