Summary The new trailer for A24's upcoming disaster comedy Y2K takes viewers back to the turn of the millennium. As one of A24's most anticipated upcoming movies, Y2K appears to take on a similar premise to 2013's This Is The End, which portrayed a fictional depiction of the apocalypse. Y2K marks the feature film directorial debut of former Saturday Night Live cast member Kyle Mooney, whose previous writing credits include Nathan for You and Brigsby Bear.
Back in 1999, the term "Y2K" referred to a computer bug that was sensationalized and created a widespread myth that would inspire apocalyptic-like events at the turn of the millennium. Similar to the film's premise, which takes place on the last night of 1999, many people, particularly teens and young adults, anticipated that the "Y2K" computer bug would trigger a series of disastrous events once the clock struck midnight in the year 2000.
