It’s like somebody reached into my brain and plucked out all of my various crushes and threw them into one movie. Variety reports Jon Hamm, Nicholas Hoult, Andrea Riseborough, Mackenzie Davis, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sofia Boutella, and Steven Yuen will star in sci-fi comedy Alpha Gang, and that’s all that really matters, doesn’t it?
However, there’s more. This ensemble of awesomeness comes from the David and Nathan Zellner, the duo behind two of my favorite quirky offbeat Sundance films: Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter, and Damsel. They’ll teamup to direct and produce from a script solely by David…
Alpha Gang is an alien invasion movie, but one where the visitors are threatened by human emotions…
They look and sound human, but Alpha Gang are aliens, sent on a mission to conquer Earth. Armed and dangerous, they show no mercy, until they catch the most toxic, contagious human disease of all: emotion. Their plan for world domination is in danger of derailing once they start to feel joy, fear, empathy, and – worst of all – love… But hopefully they can still annihilate mankind before it’s too late.
Filming begins next year, and I’ll be watching like a hawk.
