A24 has unveiled a fresh trailer for Y2K, the upcoming dark horror-sci-fi-comedy that dives into the chaos and tech paranoia of a New Year’s Eve party in 1999. Take a look above.
Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney makes his feature directorial debut with a film that tackles the unease that gripped the world as it approached the new millennium… except that here the tech-driven apocalypse appears to actually, you know, happen.
“Someone’s on the net!” says an alarmed Rachel Zegler in the fun retro-fuelled trailer, which features a remixed speech from former U.S. President Bill Clinton, his voice layered over images of 90s dial-up tones and Y2K-panic scenes. The film centres on two high school juniors who crash a New Year’s Eve bash, only to find themselves in a tech-induced nightmare.
Apart from Zegler, the cast includes Jaeden Martell, Julian Dennison, The Kid Laroi, Fred Durst, Mason Gooding, and Alicia Silverstone. The film’s producers include Jonah Hill (it’s easy to imagine him and Seth Rogen making a film like this) and Christopher Storer.
Y2K opens in the U.S. on 6 December.
