Rachel Zegler, fresh from her success in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is back with a new disaster-comedy film titled Y2K. A first-look trailer was unveiled on Tuesday, promising fans a hilarious ride as she battles a deadly Tamagotchi.
The trailer kicks off with a boy smitten by a girl who has eyes for someone else. However, chaos ensues as the clock strikes midnight, triggering the Y2K bug.
In this extraordinary flick, all technology becomes sentient and sets out to exterminate humans. The trailer showcases an RC car equipped with Lego arms using a hairspray flamethrower on one unfortunate soul, while a Tamagotchi gruesomely drills a girl.
The primary antagonist appears to be a Playstation mascot, Polygon Man, who taunts the film’s protagonists. Alongside Rachel, the movie features IT actor Jaeden Martell and Deadpool star Julian Dennison as three teenagers celebrating New Year’s Eve 1999. The trio must unite to prevent technology from wiping out humanity and put a stop to the insanity, reports the Express.

Joining the main cast and Kyle are Daniel Zolghadri, Lachlan Watson, Eduardo Franco and Fred Durst.
Y2K premiered at South by Southwest in March and is set to hit US cinemas this December.
