Don’t Look Up Synopsis
Don’t Look Up is about two lower-rung astronomers (DiCaprio and Lawrence) embarking on a massive media tour to warn the world about a comet that would hit the Earth and end humanity, according to what we know so far. Dr. Randall Mindy is played by DiCaprio, while Kate Dibiasky is played by Lawrence.
We must keep in mind that this is a dark comedy, therefore there will be plenty of laughs between DiCaprio and Lawrence. I’m interested to see how the two characters’ relationship develops and why they feel compelled to be the ones to warn the public.
Trailer
On September 8, Netflix released the first teaser trailer for Don’t Look Up. We witness DiCaprio’s character suffering a manic episode in a bathroom in this trailer. Then there’s a cut to Dr. Mindy and Kate pleading with the Chief of Staff of the White House (Jonah Hill) to do something about the issue. Finally, we get our first look at Meryl Streep’s role. She plays Janie Orlean, the President of the United States of America.
Jonah Hill’s character seems unconcerned about them, even making a joke about Dr. Mindy’s mental health. This teaser gives us a sneak peek into what’s to come!
