Illumination has released the first trailer for Not alonean alien-themed animated comedy that marks the debut of Timothée Chalamet in a voice role, with Selena Gomez in the lead alongside him.
Chalamet plays Joe, described as an “introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone,” while Gomez voices Fran, “a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first ever plant-powered rocket.”
According to the official synopsis, the pair are thrown together to prepare for the rocket’s initial launch, and romance sparks between them, even though neither is particularly good at it.
Things get complicated when three tiny alien stowaways, Dunk, Welly and Shirm, take shelter in Joe’s home while on the run from an overzealous but cackling lawman named Zandro.
The trio soon realize that Fran’s rocket may be their only way home.
The aliens are voiced by a trio of British comedic talent: Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan and Jamie Demetriou take on Dunk, Welly and Shirm respectively, while Brett Goldstein, best known for Ted Lassolends his voice to Officer Zandro.
Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris round out the supporting cast.
Behind the camera, Not alone is co-directed by a trio of Illumination veterans, Eric Guillon, who co-directed Despicable Me 3 and the design Despicable me and Minions franchise; Claire Dodgson, an editor at The Lorax and Minions; and Jonathan Del Val, Co-Director of Minions: The Rise of Gru and The Secret Life of Pets 2.
Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri is producing, while Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld serve as executive producers.
Not alone is a joint release from Illumination and Universal Pictures, and will hit theaters on April 16, 2027.
