Overview
- Illumination and Universal announced Not Alone at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Monday, June 22, with a first‑look poster and studio release of cast and credits.
- Timothée Chalamet will voice Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic, and Selena Gomez will voice Fran, an astro‑botanist building a plant‑fuelled rocket; Chalamet teased the project on his Instagram Story before the announcement.
- The story follows Joe and Fran as their tentative romance is disrupted when three runaway aliens hide in Joe’s home and target Fran’s rocket; the alien trio are voiced by Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan and Jamie Demetriou.
- The film is co‑directed by Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson and Jonathan Del Val, produced by Illumination founder Chris Meledandri with Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld as executive producers, and includes Brett Goldstein, Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris in the supporting cast.
- Not Alone is scheduled for wide theatrical release on April 16, 2027, and studios have not yet released footage or trailers, so next steps to watch for include marketing rollout and festival screenings that will shape its place on Illumination’s release slate.
