Recently, we ended up getting more news about the McKay/J-Law project and, suffice to say, it sounds much more politically-charged today, in the era of COVID-19, than it did just a month ago. Speaking to Rolling Stone, McKay says his film was set to tackle a global catastrophe and a bumbling U.S. President who refuses to listen to his White House scientists advice: McKay has decided to bring Lawrence along for a movie which is being billed as his return to comedy, after the dramatic sparks of “The Big Short” and “Vice.” If you remember, McKay and Will Ferrell were the bad boys of frat comedy back in the early aughts, a director/actor team responsible for the likes of “Anchorman,” “Step Brothers” and “Talladega Nights.” Production on “Don’t Look Up” was set to begin in April and stream via Netflix by late/December 2020, but that’s obviously all changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has basically shut down almost every production in the business.
