The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Shazam! Fury of the Gods actor Rachel Zegler's upcoming comedy Y2K has just dropped its first trailer.

Directed by Saturday Night Live former cast member Kyle Mooney, the film stars Zelger, Knives Out and It's Jaeden Martell, and Deadpool 2's Julian Dennison, as three teens celebrating on New Year's Eve 1999.

It starts off typically enough, with a dorky boy crushing on a girl who is interested in someone else, but as the clock hits midnight, the Y2K Bug activates.

Unlike in real life, where the issues were relatively minor, this film sees all technology becoming self-aware and out to kill. We see an RC car with LEGO arms use a hairspray flamethrower on one particularly cocky lad, and a sentient Tamagotchi drill a girl to death.

A character looking like failed early PlayStation mascot Polygon Man appears to taunt our heroes, and looks like he might be the main baddie.

Survival looks pretty impossible, but thankfully the teens have a helping hand in the form of Mooney's character... a stoner with blonde dreads who's really into devil sticks...

All of the black comedy and visual throwbacks are, of course, topped off with an epic trailer of a '90s cornerstone smash hit. In this case, it's the "I get knocked down, but I get up again" song, also known as 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba.

This isn't the only upcoming Rachel Zegler film to drop a trailer this month, as Disney recently released a tease for its Snow White live-action remake, in which she plays the titular apple aficionado.

Y2K will be released in US cinemas on December 6. A UK release date has yet to be confirmed.
