What if the Millennium bug was real? It might’ve looked something like A24’s dial-up disaster comedy Y2K, from comedian Kyle Mooney. A24 has unleashed the first trailer for the bloody teen comedy, teasing technology run amok and…Fred Durst.
Y2K gets an appropriate theatrical release date: December 6, 2024.
The film takes place “On the last night of 1999, two high school juniors crash a New Years Eve party, only to find themselves fighting for their lives in this dial-up disaster comedy.”
Jaeden Martell (It, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone) and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) star as the high school friends. Y2K also stars Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), Lachlan Watson (“Chucky,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Mason Gooding (Scream 2022, Scream VI), The Kid Laroi, Tim Heidecker (Us), Eduardo Franco (“Stranger Things”), Miles Robbins (Daniel Isn’t Real, Halloween 2018), Alicia Silverstone (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lodge), Fred Hechinger (Fear Street), Daniel Zolghadri (Funny Pages) and Fred Durst star.
Y2K hails from actor/comedian/writer and former “Saturday Night Live “cast member Kyle Mooney, who makes his directorial feature debut from a screenplay co-written with producer Evan Winter.
I wrote in my SXSW review, “Armed with a pitch-perfect, game-for-anything ensemble and great practical effects behind the carnage and calamity, A24’s latest offers up the most entertaining, funny-bone-tickling apocalyptic scenario since This Is the End.“ As for the horror, “Y2K runs with the unfulfilled prospect of a worldwide tech crash through a lethal machine uprising. Playing like Maximum Overdrive for millennials, Weta Workshop brings the various murder bots to life via exquisite practical effects that choke, stab, maim, and set aflame their human prey.“
The new poster, along with the trailer below, further teases the deadly bots in this wacky gem of a horror-comedy.
Evan Winter, Jonah Hill, Matt Dines, Alison Goodwin, Chris Storer, and Cooper Wehde produced. Stay tuned.
