Remix by Bill Clinton for Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut

The second trailer for A24s J2K features a remixed Bill Clinton playing during a 1990s montage of dial-up internet and panic at a 1999 New Year’s Eve party.

“There’s someone on the Internet,” a panicked Rachel Zegler says at the start of the trailer, released Wednesday.

The clip reveals some other details about the upcoming film, which will be the director’s debut Saturday evening liveby Kyle Mooney.

The film hits theaters on December 6 and is about two high school students who must fend for their lives after experiencing a New Year’s Eve party on the last night of the 20th century. Turn-of-the-century technology seems to be taking over the party, turning the night into a potentially deadly one, with a computer on board a remote-controlled car chasing partygoers around the living room.

Clinton’s remixed soundtrack comes from the former president’s 1999 comments on Y2K readiness, in which he sought to allay the nation’s fears about calendar data formatting as the world entered the year 2000.

“Party like it’s 1999, or die like it’s Y2K,” the trailer’s title cards read. A poster, also released Wednesday, shows a power cord dripping with blood.

Zegler, Jaeden Martell, Julian Dennison, The Kid Laroi, Fred Durst, Mason Gooding and Alicia Silverstone all star in the film’s main cast, which also includes Mooney.

Mooney co-wrote the script with Evan Winter. Producers are Winter, Matt Dines, Alison Goodwin, Jonah Hill, Christopher Storer and Cooper Wehde.

“It’s a film with confident performances – with a particularly strong turn from Julian Dennison – and a handful of sharp twists in search of a better story,” wrote critic Lovia Gyarkye for The Hollywood Reporter when the film premiered at South by Southwest in March.
