One Of Netflix’s Biggest & Most Divisive Movies Is At The Center Of A New Lawsuit

Netflix’s divisive political satire Don’t Look Up has found itself the subject of a copyright infringement lawsuit lodged against the streaming giant and director Adam McKay. Telling the story of two astronomers who attempt to warn society about an approaching comet set on a collision course with Earth, the black comedy uses the premise to poke fun at political and media indifference to warnings of climate change. Featuring an all-star cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, the movie received a limited theatrical release before moving on to become Netflix’s most watched English-language movie within the first week of its December 2021 release.
