We’re extremely excited to see director Adam McKay‘s next film, “Don’t Look Up,” a disaster comedy led by Oscar-winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, coming to Netflix later this year.
Adam McKay’s most recent films, “The Big Short,” “Vice,” and “Don’t Look Up” (based on the premise) all deal with political themes in a pretty explicit way. Sure, there’s the humor and heart that McKay has instilled in almost all of his features, dating back to his raunchy, R-rated Will Ferrell comedy days, but his later films don’t shy away from having a clear political viewpoint.

Even though many folks still think of him as the guy who directed films like “Step Brothers” and “Anchorman,” Adam McKay has found a second life as a filmmaker, directing features that are overtly political, such as “Vice” and “The Big Short.” He’s gone from being the guy that makes Will Ferrell comedies to the man that is clearly not afraid to share his liberal ideology and does so in a thoughtful, still humorous way.
