Hot on the heels of Everything Everywhere All At Once‘s Oscar wins, A24 may be dipping back into the genre-bender well once more with disaster comedy Y2K.
Y2K hails from actor/comedian/writer and former “Saturday Night Live “cast member Kyle Mooney, who will direct from a screenplay co-written with producer Evan Winter.
In the film, “It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Two high school nobodies decide to crash the last big party before the new millennium. When the clock strikes midnight, the night gets more insane than they ever could have imagined.”
It’s that intriguing premise and Wētā Workshop handling Y2K’s design and practical effects that hints toward a wilder genre-bender than expected for this disaster comedy. How insane will this high school comedy get?
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), and Daniel Zolghadri (Funny Pages).
A24 will produce alongside Matt Dines, Ali Goodwin and Jonah Hill (Mid90s) of Strong Baby and Chris Storer (“The Bear”) of American Light & Fixture. A24 will finance and handle worldwide releasing.
Stay tuned for more on Y2K.
