Washington DC [US], June 30 (ANI): Illumination, the studio behind blockbuster franchises like ‘Minions’ and ‘Sing’, has released the trailer for its upcoming animated film ‘Not Alone’, featuring Hollywood stars Timothee Chalamet and Selena Gomez in lead voice roles, according to Variety.
The film marks Chalamet’s debut in animation, with the actor voicing Joe, described as an “introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone.” Gomez plays Fran, a “brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.”
According to the official synopsis, Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the inaugural launch of the revolutionary rocket, and “there are immediate sparks, but neither is particularly adept at romance.” Matters get complicated when three tiny, unruly aliens take refuge in Joe’s home. The aliens — Dunk, Welly and Shirm — are on the run across planets from an inept law enforcement officer named Zandro, and soon realise that Fran’s rocket could be their ticket back home, as per the outlet.

The film is produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri, with Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld serving as executive producers, according to Variety.
