The 2024 film Y2K follows a group of teens starring actors Jaeden Martell, Rachel Zegler, Fred Durst, The Kid Laroi, Tim Heidecker and Julian Dennison, as they gear up for the biggest party of their life... or potentially their last.
For this A24 thriller, Wētā Workshop worked alongside director Kyle Mooney and writer Evan Winter to help create a series of killer robots that take on a life on their own. This is thanks to the ‘Y2K bug’ which wreaks havoc with humanity, taking over their tech and various household appliances at the dawn of the new Millenium. We created several designs, props and specialty performer suits, including an innocuous (dare we say cute?) ride-on car that evolves into a full-grown menace called 'Screen Slayer' as the night goes on.
