Don’t Look Up: 25 Things You Missed

Adam McKay’s latest film, Don’t Look Up, stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as two astronomers who discover an asteroid that will obliterate the planet in six months. We follow them (along with a NASA scientist played by Rob Morgan) as they try to inform the masses. Along the way, they encounter the corrupt political establishment (personified via characters portrayed by Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill), a disinterested media (Cate Blanchett and Tyler Perry), and a fractured and distrusting populace (Timothée Chalamet).

Don’t Look Up was filmed during COVID, before vaccines were available, so the production faced unique challenges. Several of the actors were in a bubble together and even lived together during filming, and most of the actors’ stories on the press tour for the movie have been about their experience being in closer quarters due to quarantining together during the pandemic. The film certainly seems like it was written last week to reflect our current times, but McKay says the film’s concept was born in 2018 when the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a troubling report about what would happen if the climate rose more than 1.5 degrees celsius (which it almost certainly will). After getting together with journalist David Sirota, the plot for Don’t Look Up was born.
