    A Cosmic New Adventure From Illumination

    Illumination is heading for the stars with its entirely original animated film, “Not Alone,” coming to Philippine cinemas in April 2027.

    The newly released teaser trailer gives audiences a charming first look at a world where science, romance, and a trio of chaotic aliens collide. Starring Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez, the film follows two gifted astroscientists whose groundbreaking rocket project takes an unexpected turn when extraterrestrial visitors crash into their lives.

    Watch the teaser trailer here:

    Meet Joe, Fran, and Three Unruly Aliens

    In his first-ever feature-length animated film, four-time Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe and Actor Award winner Timothée Chalamet voices Joe, an introverted rocket mecha who finds himself at the center of an interplanetary mishap.

    Joining him is Actor Award winner, Emmy nominee, and Grammy nominee Selena Gomez as Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket. When Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the rocket’s historic launch, sparks begin to fly. Unfortunately, neither of them is especially skilled when it comes to romance.

    Then, life gets even stranger.

    Three tiny, unruly, and adorable aliens named Dunk, Welly, and Shirm take refuge in Joe’s home after fleeing across the galaxy. Chased by a zealous but hilariously inept officer of the law named Zandro, the aliens soon realize that Fran’s revolutionary rocket might be their ticket back home.

    A Star-Powered Voice Cast

    Bringing the alien trio to life are acclaimed British comedic actors Rob Brydon as Dunk, Diane Morgan as Welly, and Jamie Demetriou as Shirm. Two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein voices Zandro, the overzealous officer hot on their trail.

    Illumination Debuts First Poster for “Not Alone,” Starring Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez

    A quiet rocket mechanic, a brilliant astro-botanist, and three tiny alien fugitives are about to make moviegoers feel a little less alone.

    Illumination has revealed the first poster for “Not Alone,” its upcoming original animated film featuring the voices of Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez. Set for release in Philippine cinemas in April 2027, the film promises a charming mix of science, comedy, romance, and adorable intergalactic mayhem.

    When Joe and Fran are paired for the rocket’s first launch, the mission seems simple enough. Get the rocket ready. Make history. Avoid awkward romantic tension.

    Naturally, the universe has other plans.

    A plant-powered rocket, alien chaos, and a spark between strangers

    Just as Joe and Fran begin working together, three tiny aliens named Dunk, Welly, and Shirm suddenly take shelter in Joe’s home. Cute, chaotic, and very much on the run, the trio is being chased across space by Zandro, a determined but not exactly competent officer of the law.

    Their ticket home may be Fran’s revolutionary rocket, which means Joe’s quiet life and the launch team’s historic mission are about to collide in the most unexpected way.

    “Not Alone” marks Chalamet’s first feature-length animated film role, adding another milestone to the four-time Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe and Actor Award winner’s career.
