Jaeden Martell, Rachel Zegler, The Kid Laroi, Julian Dennison and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst are trying to survive New Year’s Eve 1999 in the trailer for the A24 disaster comedy Y2K.
The first preview for the film below shows how the Kyle Mooney-directed comedy gives an alternate look at what could have happened in the year 2000 if the new year actually did give way to technology running amok.
In the film, it’s not really about the banks losing everyone’s money–it’s about technology itself trying to take over the world. As the synopsis states, two high school juniors who crashed a New Year’s Eve party must fight for their lives along with those at the party after they find out that the new year actually did bring about chaos.
