Oscar winners assemble for climate warning comedy 'Don't Look Up'

NEW YORK, USA – Director Adam McKay has assembled an all-star cast brimming with Oscar winners to give a humorous warning about climate change in new movieIn the Netflix film, Academy award winners Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio play two astronomers who set out to warn the world of an approaching comet set to destroy the planet. But the message falls on deaf ears, starting with Meryl Streep’s President Janie Orlean.

Three-time Oscar winner Streep, whose character’s first reaction to the bad news is “to sit tight and assess”, said the movie’s message was simple: “Look up … we know what’s coming and we know we can do something about it.” The comedy sees DiCaprio and Lawrence’s characters desperately try to get their message across and kicking off a media campaign.

“I think we all looked at this as an incredibly unique gift,” DiCaprio, himself a vocal environmental campaigner, said. “We’d all been wanting to get the message out there about the climate crisis and Adam really cracked the code with creating this narrative.” The film also stars Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, Tyler Perry, Mark Rylance, and singer Ariana Grande., which will have a limited theatrical release, begins streaming on Netflix on December 24.
