Netflix Dropped A New Clip From "Don't Look Up" Starring Jennifer Lawrence And Leonardo DiCaprio, And You Just Have To See It To Believe It

Today was a huge day for Netflix. (What day isn't, but I digress.) Anyways, the streaming service held a global fan event called "Tudum" — named after its opening sound — where it dropped everything from sneak peeks to release dates of its hotly anticipated titles.
Included in the lineup were none other than Bridgerton Season 2, Stranger Things Season 4, and Adam McKay's Don't Look Up.
The movie follows two low-level astronomers who embark on a giant press tour to warn humankind of an approaching comet that will destroy the planet.
While the official teaser trailer for the film dropped earlier this month, we got a closer look at the comedy-disaster flick today with a brand-new clip.
The movie — which comes out in theaters Dec. 10 and Netflix Dec. 24 — features the stacked (although completely random) A-list cast of Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, and Meryl Streep.
Oh, and then there's Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Timothée Chalamet, Chris Evans, Cate Blanchett, Matthew Perry, and Tyler Perry, too.
If the cast didn't convince you of how wild this movie will be, then the exclusive clip is sure to do the trick. In the video — titled "Sit Tight and Assess" — we see scientists J. Law (Dr. Kate Dibiasky) and Leo (Dr. Randall Mindy) trying to convince Madame President Meryl of an imminent apocalypse via hurtling astroid toward Earth.
But...she's less than impressed, and so is her chief of staff — a hilarious Jonah. As a panicked Dr. Mindy begins rattling off scientific facts about the asteroid, Jonah's Jason Orlean dozes off.
And when the doctors, along with Rob's Dr. Clayton "Teddy" Oglethorpe, insist that the chance of the asteroid's collision with the planet is 99.78%, all the government members can focus on is the .22% possibility that it doesn't hit Earth.
That's when Meryl's character chimes in with an iconic, "At this very moment, I say we sit tight and assess." Which basically prompts everyone to repeat the phrase "sit tight and assess" with varying degrees of authority and credulity.
"You want us to sit tight?" Dr. Dibiasky asks. "And then assess," Jason responds.
I have many thoughts on this clip including, but not limited to: a) Let's acknowledge J. Law's bangs. b) In the one and a half —minute clip we have of Jonah, he's absolutely killing this role, because he is an icon. c) If we were ever in an asteroid-crisis situation, I'm 99.78% sure this is how our government would respond. d) Jennifer Lawrence and her bangs.
