A24’s ‘Y2K’ Trailer Unveils Wild New Year’s Eve Horror Adventure with Rachel Zegler, Jaeden Martell, and Julian Dennison

A24 has just dropped the first trailer for Y2K, the debut film directed by Kyle Mooney. Starring Rachel Zegler, Jaeden Martell, and Julian Dennison, this New Year’s Eve comedy takes a quirky twist on the infamous Year 2000 tech scare, adding a dash of chaos and laughs.

Produced by Jonah Hill, the film brings together a unique team, including Matt Dines, Allison Goodwin, Christopher Storer, Cooper Wehde, and Evan Winter. Production comes courtesy of A24, Strong Baby Productions, and American Light & Fixture.

On December 31, 1999, two high school juniors, Eli (played by Martell) and Danny (played by Dennison), find themselves caught in an unexpected, chaotic night after crashing a New Year’s Eve party.

As the countdown begins, the two teens quickly realize they’ve stumbled into something more dangerous than they’d anticipated, turning the evening into a wild fight for survival.

The cast of Y2K includes an eclectic lineup: Martell and Dennison join Zegler as Laura, along with Daniel Zolghadri, Lachlan Watson, Eduardo Franco, and even Fred Durst playing himself.

Kyle Mooney steps in as Garrett, with supporting roles by Mason Gooding, The Kid Laroi, Miles Robbins, Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker, Lauren Balone, and Kevin Mangold.

Speaking to Collider during the film’s premiere at SXSW, Zegler shared her excitement about joining Y2K, saying the script stood out with its unexpected twists and fresh take on a classic coming-of-age story.

‘It was so fun to read because I like when things go a little differently than you expect,’ Zegler explained. She added that the movie offers surprises not only for audiences but also for those working on it.

The chaotic, nostalgia-filled Y2K will be hitting theaters on December 6, 2024. Have something to add? Let us know in the comments below!
