Illumination and Universal Pictures announce “Not Alone,” an animated sci-fi comedy with Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez as voice leads. The film’s first trailer is released, introducing the story as an unlikely space adventure set in motion when three aliens arrive and require help. Multiple outlets report that Chalamet voices Joe, an introverted or shy rocket mechanic who lives alone, while Gomez voices Fran, an astro-botanist developing a plant-powered rocket. As their characters get pulled into the aliens’ plans, the plot moves toward an interplanetary escape or journey, combining rocket science and extraterrestrial events with a romantic subplot.
The press materials also describe supporting cast members including Brett Goldstein and Lamorne Morris, with additional names cited by some outlets. Universal sets “Not Alone” for a wide theatrical release on April 16, 2027. The announcement is tied to the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Outlets also note that the news follows Chalamet teasing a “new movie announcement” on social media ahead of the festival reveal.
