SXSW is in full swing and Pop Culture Planet’s contributors Jordan Bohan and Danielle Forte are covering the event on the ground. Directed by Kyle Mooney, Y2K is a disaster comedy where technology comes to life and wreaks havoc on the lives of a group of teens.

At the Y2K world premiere at the Paramount Theater, Pop Culture Planet grabbed a moment with actress Rachel Zegler. After huge success with West Side Story and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Zegler is switching gears and flexing her comedic muscles in A24’s new film Y2K. “It feels like a school project, all the best parts of a school project. Everybody is truly coming together to reach a common goal, to make a fucking great film, and have fun and laugh,” she told us about pivoting from a large franchise to a smaller production. “It’s such a good time.” 

The A24 film is rumored to be dropping later in 2024.
