Netflix is no stranger to star-studded prestige films after successes such as The Irishman<\/a> and The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/a> \u2013 but Don\u2019t Look Up might just be their starriest yet.<\/p>\n

From Oscar-winning director Adam McKay, Don\u2019t Look Up takes a classic disaster movie premise of a comet heading towards Earth \u2013 only this time, no one seems to care.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence to go on a press tour of all things to warn the public \u2013 where they encounter a who\u2019s who of acclaimed actors including Jonah Hill, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Netflix<\/a>\u2018s Don\u2019t Look Up.<\/p>

Don\u2019t Look Up release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Likely due to its stacked cast, Don\u2019t Look Up is one of the few Netflix films that will get a cinema release on Friday 10th December 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It will then drop on Netflix two weeks later on Christmas Eve 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence lead an absolutely packed cast, with both actors returning to a lead role after several quiet years.<\/p>\n

They will be joined by \u2013 wait for it \u2013 Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street), Rob Morgan (Daredevil), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies), Tyler Perry (Gone Girl), Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet (Dune<\/a>), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Himesh Patel (Yesterday), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Michael Chiklis (The Shield), and Tomer Sisley (Messiah).<\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough, legendary actresses Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep will also be appearing in the film, as well as singers Ariana Grande and Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi.<\/p>\n

A cast this impressive is likely in no small part due to the success of director Adam McKay, whose previous films The Big Short and Vice were universally acclaimed and received several Oscar nominations.<\/p>\n

The first teaser trailer was released in September 2021, and though brief did feature a glimpse of the film\u2019s huge cast list \u2013 and some very\u00a0<\/em>nervous breathing from Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n\n

What is Don\u2019t Look Up about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\""DON'T\"<\/div>

A disaster film unlike any other, Don\u2019t Look Up follows astronomy grad student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) as they discover a comet on a direct collision course with Earth. Naturally, they take this news to President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her fawning Chief of Staff Jason (Jonah Hill) \u2013 who, to their surprise have heard enough apocalypse stories and are indifferent on the matter.<\/p>\n

Therefore, with the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall must go on a press tour to save humanity, which puts them on a collision course with all sorts of eccentric media personalities including morning show hosts Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months left until impact, it soon no longer funny how unwilling people are to pay attention \u2013 what will it take for the world to look up?<\/p>\n

While a disaster film on the surface, much like McKay\u2019s other work Don\u2019t Look Up is a black comedy at heart, which will be taking aim at the24-hour news cycle and social media in particular, as well as acting as an allegory for climate change and how we communicate.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Look Up will be released in the UK on 10th December 2021. <\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our dedicated\u00a0Movies<\/a>\u00a0hub.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
