The term “Y2K” seems to be a curious little reminder of the turn of the century.

But in a new film starring New Jersey native Rachel Zegler, those fears come true when machines go haywire and become armed killers.

“Y2K,” the directorial debut of “Saturday Night Live” star Kyle Mooney, got its first trailer today. A24’s disaster comedy, which hits theaters Dec. 6, was filmed in New Jersey (see below).

Zegler, 23, who grew up in Clifton, stars alongside Jaeden Martell (“It”), Julian Dennison (“Deadpool 2”) and Alicia Silverstone.

Mooney also appears in the film, which is set in 1999.

Zegler, who wears contemporary hairstyles in the film, was not yet born in 1999. The graduate of Immaculate Conception High School in Lodi rose to fame as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” (2021), for which she won a Golden Globe. She then starred in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” (2023).

Zegler plays Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of the animated film, for which a trailer was recently released. This fall, before the release of “Y2K,” she will make her Broadway debut as Juliet in “Romeo + Juliet.”

The New Jersey Motion Picture and TV Commission told NJ Advance Media that $13.5 million was spent filming “Y2K” in Jersey.

Locations included Clark Recreation Center, Van Houten Street in Paterson, Union Cemetery in Ramsey, Fieldstone Park Shopping Center in Ringwood and Zoom Convenience in Vauxhall.

The film was also shot at Rife Camp Park in Woodland Park, Summit Field on the South Mountain Reservation in South Orange (as well as Painter’s Point and other locations in the area), and Fair Mount Cemetery, Fuller Avenue and Dempster Road in Chatham (Borough).
