Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet will star in the new animated movie, 'Not Alone.' Taylor Hill/FilmMagic; Bryan Steffy/Getty Images for CinemaCon After he finishes waging an intergalactic holy war in the third Dune flick, Timothée Chalamet will embark on a much more family-friendly space adventure with Selena Gomez in the new animated film Not Alone.
The film was announced Monday, June 22, though in classic Chalamet fashion, he made sure to stoke some interest with a cryptic Instagram teaser last night: “New movies announcement tmrw :)” he wrote alongside a photo of a sky with a rocket emoji. Not Alone — which marks Chalamet’s first feature-length animated project — is set to arrive April 16, 2027.
In the film, Chalamet will voice Joe, described as an “introverted rocket mechanic,” while Gomez will play Fran, an “astro-botanist,” who’s built the first “plant-fueled rocket.” The two come together as they prepare for the rocket’s inaugural launch, and quickly fall in love (though “neither is particularly adept at romance,” a synopsis notes).
Thrown into the mix are a trio of aliens — Dunk, Welly, and Shirm — who take up residence at Joe’s house as they try to evade a bumbling intergalactic cop, Officer Zandro. Fran’s rocket, the aliens hope, will get them back to their planet safely.
Along with Chalamet and Gomez, the Not Alone cast will feature Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, and Jamie Demetriou as Dunk, Welly, and Shirm, respectively. Brett Goldstein will voice Officer Sandro, while the supporting cast will also feature Allison Janney and Lamorne Morris.
