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.

Not Alone will be co-directed by Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson, and Jonathan Del Val. The trio have worked on a variety of films for Illumination, the animation studio behind Not Alone and mega franchises like Despicable Me and Super Mario Bros.

For Chalamet, Not Alone will follow Dune: Part Three, the highly anticipated, and final, installment of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi trilogy based on the books of Frank Herbert. (It’s set to hit theaters Dec. 18.) As for Gomez, this will be her first major film role since co-starring in 2024’s Emilia Pérez, though she’s also remained busy with her hit Hulu series, Only Murders In the Building, which got renewed for a sixth season last year.

Elliot Page Says Christopher Nolan’s Script for ‘The Odyssey’ Left Him ‘Breathless’

Elliot Page compared reading Christopher Nolan‘s script for The Odyssey to reading Inception for the first time. During an interview on The Tonight Show, the actor reflected on what it was like to be part of both those films, saying The Odyssey made him “breathless.”

“My first reaction, honestly, it was similar to reading the script to Inception,” Page told host Jimmy Fallon. “I really was just left breathless. Really blown away by something that was so complex, so massive, and with this tremendous engine and heart that just kept moving forward. It just really blew me away.”

Billie Eilish Begins Filming in Toronto for 'The Bell Jar' Adaptation

Billie Eilish is trading the recording studio for a Toronto film set as production begins on The Bell Jar, Sarah Polley’s upcoming adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s landmark novel.

Shot in and around Toronto, the production has transformed parts of the city and surrounding region into a 1950s American landscape. Reports on Reddit and elsewhere have placed filming at locations including Kensington Market, where streets were redesigned with vintage vehicles and period details, as well as downtown Toronto and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

George R.R. Martin ‘Battled Sadness and Depression’ Over the Past ‘Stressful’ Year

George R.R. Martin’s first piece of published writing in some time will not please fans hungry for a new volume in the author’s A Song of Ice and Fire series — but it will somewhat explain the latest stumbling block in the 15 years since A Dance With Dragons came out. In a new blog, the author, 77, acknowledged that he had not published himself since February and went on to describe a year beset by challenges.

“This year has been… stressful, to say the least,” he wrote. While he experienced great and even “exciting” things, including “dreams coming true,” he wrote that proverbial nightmares had also haunted him. “I have lost friends,” he wrote. “Battled sadness and depression. The worst may be yet to come. I turned 77 last September, and I tell you, getting old is no fun. But there have been amazing times as well.
