Adam really cracked the code," DiCaprio said. This is an issue where everyone is looking for what kind of difference they can make.

"I'd been looking for a movie about this subject for decades. That approach helped hook in DiCaprio, who has been a passionate campaigner on climate issues for years. You can feel urgency and sadness and loss while also having a sense of humour." "But if you're able to laugh, that means you have some distance, that's important. "We wanted to deal with this subject - the climate crisis - that is arguably the greatest threat to life in the history of mankind, and that can be almost like an animal attacking you, it can be overwhelming," McKay said. McKay has pivoted from out-and-out comedies like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers" to more political fare with films about the financial crisis ("The Big Short") and former vice-president Dick Cheney ("Vice"). Lawrence, laughing, agreed: "I would die commenting on TikTok." "And I think people in their last moments would want to read that." Letting people know the cool thoughts that I had to say, and opinions about different stuff like movies and how stars live their lives and who they're dating. Jonah Hill, who plays the obnoxious son and chief-of-staff to Streep's president, struck a light note at the press conference.Īsked what he would do if the world was coming to an end, Hill dead-panned: "I think I would be tweeting. It was really something to behold," Mainzer said. "We had a screening with other scientists in LA and they were cheering. She said it was "very cathartic" watching DiCaprio's impassioned rant in the film against the stupidity of ignoring scientific warnings. The press conference was hosted by Dr Amy Mainzer, the real-life astronomer who provided the basis for Lawrence's character. "There were so many places to take things from, because there are so many preposterous people who put themselves in public life, shamelessly," she said. Streep was coy about the real-life inspiration for her role. In the movie, the astronomers face a particularly tough time trying to convince the power-obsessed US president, played with narcissistic glee by Meryl Streep. "It's so sad and frustrating to watch people who have dedicated their lives to learning the truth be turned away because people don't like what the truth has to say," said Lawrence. She was lured back by her love for "Don't Look Up" director Adam McKay and the message of the film. The "Hunger Games" star recently told Vanity Fair she felt people had "gotten sick of me" following a string of box office disappointments, and wanted to build a real life, not least after a near-death experience when her private plane crashed. The film marks Lawrence's return to the big screen after a couple of years away from the spotlight. "We are so immensely distracted from the truth nowadays and then Covid hit and a whole new scientific argument happened there," DiCaprio said in a recent press conference. The parallels with the climate crisis were deliberate, and filming during the pandemic gave the film another level of relevance. In "Don't Look Up", released on December 24 on Netflix, they play two astronomers who discover a comet will wipe out life on Earth within six months, but then try in vain to get politicians and the media to take the threat seriously. For Hollywood A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, their new end-of-the-world comedy was a chance to send a little respect back to scientists.
