Netflix on Tuesday unveiled their massive 2021 film, consisting of 70 original films, including a first look at the biggest of the year, Don’t Look Up.
The streaming service unveiled a preview of their film slates featuring footage of several of their new projects, ending with the first look at Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio in Don’t Look Up.
The project is still being filmed, led by writer-director Adam McKay (vice, The Big Short), though Netflix has not announced when they want to release it.
