“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,” read the official film synopsis, according to Variety.
Dunk, Welly and Shirm will be voiced by Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, and Jamie Demetriou.
‘Ted Lasso’ star Brett Goldstein will be seen as Officer Zandro.
Others in the supporting cast include Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris.
The ‘Not Alone’ will be co-directed by Illumination mainstays Eric Guillon, who was the co-director of ‘Despicable Me 2’, Claire Dodgson, and Jonathan Del.
The film is slated to release on April 16, 2027.
It will be produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and executive produced by Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis, and David Distenfeld.
It is worth mentioning that the role marks Timothee Chalamet’s first feature-length animated film. In a recent film, the actor graced the big screen with his Oscar-nominated ‘Marty Supreme’.
Next up, he is also set to reprise his role as Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune: Part Three’, scheduled to hit theatres in December.
For Selena Gomez, her upcoming credits include the Linda Ronstadt biopic, in which she will portray the Grammy-winning singer. (ANI)
