Cate Blanchett Set To Star in The Alien Invasion Sci-Fi Comedy ALPHA GANG
Cate Blanchett has landed the lead role in an upcoming alien invasion sci-fi comedy titled Alpha Gang, which comes from Sasquatch Sunset filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner.
Alpha Gang follows “alien invaders sent on a mission to conquer Earth. Disguised in human form as an armed and dangerous 1950’s leather-clad biker gang, they show no mercy… until they catch the most toxic, contagious human disease of all: emotion.”
That sounds like a fun movie! It sounds a lot better than their last film, Sasquatch Sunset, which is easily the worst film that I’ve seen this year. I was not a fan.
Regardless, Alpha Gang sounds like it could be a good time, especially with Blanchette leading the cast.
Blanchett and Coco Francini of Dirty Films said in a joint statement: “The Zellner brother’s work never fails to surprise and delight us. In Alpha Gang, they have created a far out world in order to lampoon something much closer to home: the hilarious, absurd, and peculiar truth of the human condition.”
MK2 Films’ managing director Fionnuala Jamison said the company is “thrilled to be working with the visionary Zellner Brothers.”
Jamison added the script for Alpha Gang “seamlessly blends the spirit of 1950’s rebellion with an intergalactic revolution. And with the incomparable Cate Blanchett in the role of the effortlessly cool Alpha One, leading an exceptional ensemble cast, we expect buyers to be fighting to join the ranks of the Alpha Gang.”
Alpha Gang is set to start filming in the Fall.
