Major stars are headed to Boston for a Netflix film beginning on November 19, according to Hollywoodreporter.com. And I'm talking MAJOR film stars like MERYL FRICKIN' STREEP!  OH!  Be still my beating heart!

Meryl is just the first name in this upcoming comedy project called "Don't Look Up."  Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill and Himesh Patel.  (You might remember Himesh as the lead character in Yesterday.)  WOW, right?

The film is also slated to star Timothée Chalamet, who you might remember from his break out part in Little Women, also starring Meryl Streep.

"Don't Look Up" is a comedy from Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live, but that's just a little bit of Adam's resume.  He has also directed Anchorman:  The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights:  The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Step Brothers, the Other Guys and Archorman 2:  The Legend Continues.  He wrote all these films with his writing partner, Will Ferrell, according to Wiki.  

Adam McKay also directed The Big Short and Vice, according to Wiki.  This project, "Don't Look Up," is about two scientists who discover a meteor will hit the Earth in six months.  The two scientists are played by Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio and they go on a media tour to warn the world, but people don't believe them.
