“Don’t Look Up,” the new film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, is another blockbuster classic. This time, though, it is based on “real occurrences which haven’t occurred.”

The official description for Don’t Look Up reads:
“Kate Dibiasky, an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy 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. 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?!

Check out the trailer for ‘Don’t Look Up’
This film has been getting a lot of attention since its teaser clip was released back in September. Next came the full trailer for Don’t Look Up, which landed in November.
An astronomer and his student were shown in the clip trying to spread the word about the comet’s dangers, led by Dr. Randall Mindy and his pupil, Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence). They even visited the President played by (Meryl Streep) and even met pop singer Ariana Grande (Ariana Grande), but all their efforts were in vain.
When the government eventually listens to them, they are more concerned with generating money than rescuing the world.
What’s Netflix’s Don’t Look Up about?
The film tells the story of two astronomers who are on a six-month mission to warn the world that an asteroid is on a collision course with our planet. On a press tour to alert the public about a meteor that would threaten the Planet in six months, Leo and J Law portray two low-level researchers who find an uninterested and skeptical populace.
McKay in an interview with Deadline said-
“I’m so thrilled to make this movie with Jen Lawrence. She’s what folks in the 17th century used to call ‘a dynamite talent’. “And the fact that Netflix sees this movie as a worldwide comedy sets the bar high for me and my team in an exciting and motivating way.”
