Actor Timothee Chalamet is set to lend his voice to an animated feature for the first time. The 30-year-old actor will star alongside Selena Gomez in Not Alone, a new sci-fi comedy from Illumination, the studio behind blockbuster franchises such as Despicable Me and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
The project was unveiled at the Annecy Animation Festival, with Illumination confirming that Not Alone will release in theatres on April 16, 2027.
Chalamet will voice Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic who prefers a quiet life, while Gomez will play Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist developing the world’s first plant-powered rocket.
According to the official synopsis, Joe and Fran cross paths as they prepare for the rocket’s maiden launch. While sparks fly between the two, romance does not come easily for either of them. Their lives take an unexpected turn when three mischievous alien fugitives — Dunk, Welly and Shirm — seek refuge in Joe’s home.
On the run from the determined but bumbling Officer Zandro, the trio believes Fran’s experimental rocket could be their ticket back home, setting the stage for a space adventure filled with comedy, chaos and unlikely friendships.
The alien trio will be voiced by Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan and Jamie Demetriou, while Brett Goldstein will voice Officer Zandro. The supporting cast also includes Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris.
Not Alone will be co-directed by Illumination veterans Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson and Jonathan Del Val. The film is produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri, with Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld serving as executive producers.
