McKay also chimed in with the hope that “a small percentage of the audience re-orientates, and like, this needs to be the number one filter that we’re viewing the world through.” “And you know, if we don’t do something, we know the outcome.” “Right now, we have such a limited amount of time and there’s such a massive scale that needs to happen so quickly,” DiCaprio added. I could go off for an hour,” though he hopes films like this will help fuel change. Lawrence quickly jumped in, “You asked the wrong person, Leo is such a bummer with this stuff,” as DiCaprio admitted he’s “a Debbie Downer when it comes to this issue. To close out the night, Karger asked DiCaprio if he had any optimism about the climate crisis, particularly after working on the film, to which he responded, “Not much.” McKay also spoke about his difficulty in getting the idea right, after having started on numerous past climate-crisis stories, from dramas to thrillers, before friend and journalist David Sirota told McKay three years ago that the lack of urgency surrounding the issue “is like the asteroid is going to hit Earth and no one cares.” “I was like, ‘That’s it!'” McKay said.ĭiCaprio, who transforms into a nerdy Michigan professor for the role - one of “two scientists at the helm of having to articulate the end of the world to the general public, and simultaneously not being media savvy or slick or sexy in any,” as he jokingly turned to Lawrence with, “Well, you were kind of sexy your haircut was awesome” - said the performance also mirrored “all of the frustration that I’ve felt” after conversations he’s had with environmentalists on how to articulate the urgency of climate change to the world.
