Hollywood stars Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez are joining forces for a brand-new animated feature titled Not Alone. This upcoming project is being produced by Illumination, the powerhouse studio recognized globally for its massive successes such as the Despicable Me franchise and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The film is generating significant excitement as fans look forward to seeing these two talented actors lend their voices to this unique alien-themed cinematic experience.
In Not Alone, Timothée Chalamet is set to voice the lead character, Joe. Described as an introverted rocket mechanic, Joe leads a quiet, solitary existence until his life takes a dramatic turn. Opposite him, Selena Gomez will provide the voice for Fran, an exceptionally brilliant astro-botanist who is currently working on engineering the world’s very first plant-fueled rocket. The narrative centers on their unlikely partnership as they collaborate for the rocket's inaugural launch.
The Creative Vision Behind Not Alone
The story deepens when three tiny, adorable, and rather chaotic aliens—Dunk, Welly, and Shirm—suddenly seek refuge in Joe's home. These extraterrestrial visitors are on the run from a zealous, yet highly inept, law enforcement officer named Zandro, who will be voiced by Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein. The aliens soon realize that the revolutionary rocket designed by Fran could be the perfect vessel to help them return safely to their home planet.
The vocal talents bringing these alien characters to life include Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, and Jamie Demetriou. Furthermore, the ensemble cast features notable performances from Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris. The film is being brought to life under the direction of Illumination stalwarts Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson, and Jonathan Del. With a release date currently scheduled for April 16, 2027, audiences are eagerly anticipating this creative fusion of science fiction and animation.
This production marks a notable milestone for Timothée Chalamet, as Not Alone represents his very first role in a feature-length animated production. The actor continues to diversify his filmography following his acclaimed work in Marty Supreme and his upcoming return as Paul Atreides in the highly anticipated Dune: Part Three, slated for a December theatrical debut. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez continues to expand her impressive portfolio, with her upcoming portrayal of the legendary singer Linda Ronstadt in a highly awaited biopic currently in development. Produced by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri, with executive production by Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis, and David Distenfeld, this film promises to be a standout cinematic event.
