Oscar-winning actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence will shine on in the Adam Mckay Netflix comedy, Don’t Look Up.
Well, the makers will have to give out a huge sum as a working amount to the two top celebrities, is what is heard.
As per a report in Variety, the stars have been locked for the roles with a huge price tag. DiCaprio will receive $30 million and Lawrence a huge sum of $25 million as per the report.
Don’t Look Up is the story of two low-level astronomers who are forced to travel around the U.S. to warn the population that a giant meteor is heading straight towards the planet and will destroy it. The Oscar-winning talents joined in the starstruck movie by Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Mark Rylance, and Cate Blanchett.
According to IndieWire, DiCaprio’s $30 million paydays is up from the salary he earned for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, for which him and Brad Pitt took pay cuts for the movie so that budget could stay reasonable and thus increase Sony’s chance of making its money back. Jennifer Lawrence continues to pull in her normal $20-million-plus salary and she’s expected to do the same with an upcoming biopic on Hollywood talent agent Sue Mengers, being directed by Paolo Sorrentino.
Wow!! That’s big news involving huge money!!
