Giving Pixar a run for its money is Illumination who, for almost 20 years, have given audiences a universe of unforgettable characters and stories that have included the phenomenally successful Minions and Despicable Me, the biggest global animated franchise in history, as well as Sing, The Secret Life of Pets, Migration and the record-shattering Super Mario Bros. films. Now, the studio has an all new original film and we get a first look with the release of the ‘Not Alone’ trailer.
Who are they Not Alone with?
Fran (Selena Gomez), a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket. When Joe (Timothee Chalamet) 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.
In his first-ever feature-length animated film, four-time Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe and Actor Award winner Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme, Dune films) stars as Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone. Co-starring with Chalamet is Actor Award winner and Emmy and Grammy nominee Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building, Emilia Pérez)
An all star cast of voices…..
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 Oscar winner Allison Janney (Minions & Monsters, The Diplomat) and Emmy winner Lamorne Morris (Fargo, Spider-Noir).
