Timothée Chalamet has caught the sci-fi bug. Following the release of Dune: Part Three, the Oscar nominee will remain in the realm of space and aliens with Illumination’s upcoming Not Alone.
The film, out in April of 2027, marks Chalamet’s animation debut. He stars alongside Selena Gomez, herself no stranger to animation thanks to roles in the Hotel Transylvania movies. The pair voice Joe and Fran, employees at Space Burst, a company working on a revolutionary rocket launch.
Not Alone‘s first teaser trailer highlights the budding romance between the two, complete with flirting, blushing, and the promise of a dinner date. However, Joe and Fran’s love story gets derailed when Space Burst’s rocket collides with an unknown object and begins hurtling back to Earth — and it’s bringing aliens with it.
Up until this point, Not Alone‘s teaser is quietly sweet, with even a hint of melancholy at the threat of the rocket colliding with Earth. With the aliens’ introduction, though, the trailer reminds us that this is an Illumination movie. And Illumination loves nothing more than its weird little guys. (See: the entire Minions franchise.)
Not Alone‘s weird little guys are a crew of Gumby-looking aliens. Unlike the Minions, they speak English — and they’re all voiced by UK comedy royalty. Named Dunk (voiced by Rob Brydon), Welly (voiced by Diane Morgan), and Shirm (voiced by Jamie Demetriou), this alien trio is on the run from their home planet’s zealous Officer Zandro (voiced by Brett Goldstein). They wind up hiding out in Joe’s home. Will their presence help or hinder his chances with Fran? And how will this first contact end up impacting the rest of Earth?
Not Alone hits theaters in April of 2027.
