It has been announced that Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez will lend their voices to the leads of Illumination’s next film, Not Alone. The film is an animated sci-fi centered on aliens. Its plot synopsis is as follows:

“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.”

Chalamet will voice Joe, who is described as an “introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone.” Gomez will voice Fran, a “brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.” The voices of the three aliens, Dunk, Welly, and Shirm, will be done by Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, and Jamie Demetriou. The antagonistic intergalactic Officer Zandro will be voiced by Brett Goldstein. Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris will also be lending their voices to the film.

Not Alone will be co-directed by Illumination veterans Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson, and Jonathan Del Val. Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri will be producing the film. Executive Producers are Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis, and David Distenfeld.

Not Alone will be released in theaters by Universal Pictures and Illumination on April 16, 2027.
