Andrea Riseborough, Jon Hamm, Nicholas Hoult, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mackenzie Davis, Sofia Boutella and Steven Yuen are set to star in the science-fiction comedy “Alpha Gang.”
The project is heading to next week’s Cannes market, with Protagonist Pictures handling international sales and CAA Media Finance shopping North American sales. Shooting will begin in 2021 in Eastern Europe.
“Alpha Gang” centers on aliens sent on a mission to conquer Earth. Armed and dangerous, they show no mercy — that is, of course, until they catch the human disease of emotion. Their plan for world domination is in danger of derailing once they start to feel joy, fear, empathy and love.
The sibling team of David and Nathan Zellner (“Damsel”) will direct and produce from a script written by David Zellner. Adele Romanski and Sara Murphy of Pastel will be producing.
