Universal Pictures has revealed the Illumination animated movie Not Alone, which will star Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez.

The studio has set an April 16, 2027 wide release for the project, taking the place of the Untitled Illumination Event Film. The announcement was made during the Annecy Film Festival in France.

In his first-ever feature-length animated film, four-time Oscar nominee Chalamet will star as Joe, “an introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone.” Co-starring with Chalamet is Emmy and Grammy nominee Gomez as “Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.”

The synopsis reads: “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.”

Additional voice cast includes Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, Jamie Demetriou, Brett Goldstein, Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris.

Pic is directed by Eric Guillon, the co-director of Despicable Me 3 and the designer of Despicable Me and Minions.

Guillon is directing alongside Claire Dodgson (editor of The Lorax, Minions, Despicable Me 3, Minions: The Rise of Gru) and Jonathan Del Val (co-director of Minions: The Rise of Gru and The Secret Life of Pets 2). The film is produced by Illumination’s founder and CEO Chris Meledandri.
