The king of 1999, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, is set to make an appearance in a new comedy-horror film set at the turn of the century titled Y2K. The movie comes from writer-director and former Saturday Night Live cast member Kyle Mooney, who also has a supporting role in the film.The movie starts off as a typical teen coming-of-age story with two high school nobodies (Jaeden Martell and Julian Dennison) deciding to crash the last popular kids’ bash on New Year’s Eve 1999, but when the clock strikes midnight, all of the computers start to revolt against mankind in truly horrific ways.While little is actually known about Durst’s role, the Limp Bizkit frontman is billed as himself on the Y2K Imdb cast listing. He also makes two quick-hitting appearances in the film’s initial trailer as well.Show Us Your DurstDurst, who has previously directed several films and music videos, is no stranger to making big screen appearances as well.
