In his first-ever feature-length animated film, Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme,? Wonka, Dune?films) stars as Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone. Until the aliens arrive.
Co-starring with Chalamet is Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building,?Emilia Pérez). Selena plays Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.
When Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the inaugural launch of this revolutionary rocket, there are immediate sparks, but neither is particularly adept at romance.
Life becomes more complicated when three aliens—tiny, unruly and adorable—take refuge in Joe’s home. Dunk, Welly and Shirm are on the interplanetary run from a zealous-yet-inept officer of the law named Zandro. The aliens determine that Fran’s rocket could provide their means of getting back home to safety.
The aliens are voiced by renowned British comedic actors Rob Brydon (Barbie,?The Trip), Diane Morgan (Cunk On?series,?Mandy) and Jamie Demetriou (Cruella,?Jay Kelly) starring as Dunk, Welly and Shirm, and two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso,?Office Romance) as officer Zandro. The film’s supporting voice includes Allison Janney (Minions & Monsters, The Diplomat) and Emmy winner Lamorne Morris (Fargo, Spider-Noir).
Not Alone?is directed by Eric Guillon, the co-director of Despicable Me 3 and the designer of?Despicable Me? and?Minions.
Guillon is directing alongside Claire Dodgson (editor of?The Lorax,?Minions,?Despicable Me 3, Minions: The Rise of Gru) and Jonathan Del Val (co-director of?Minions: The Rise of Gru?and?The Secret Life of Pets 2).
The film is produced by Illumination’s founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and executive produced by Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld.
Not Alone is scheduled for release in April of 2027.
