Jon Hamm and Nicholas Hoult Among Ensemble Cast to Star in Sci-Fi Comedy ALPHA GANG
The cast of the sci-fi comedy Alpha Gang is coming together, as it has added a few new players to lead the cast. Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Baby Driver) and Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, the X-Men films) have joined the movie, along with Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, ZeroZeroZero), Charlotte Gainsbourg (The Snowman, I Think We’re Alone Now), Mackenzie Davis (Halt and Catch Fire, Terminator: Dark Fate), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hotel Artemis), and Steven Yuen (The Walking Dead).
Variety reports the synopsis:
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 script is written by David Zellner, who will co-direct and executive produce alongside his brother, Nathan Zellner. David says of the movie:
“I’ve been wanting to make this film for a long time — a genre mashup of sci-fi, action and comedy. Nathan and I couldn’t be more excited about the incredible cast joining us for this wild ride.”
This is an incredible cast, and it sounds like it will be a really fun film. Alpha Gang is set to start shooting in 2021.
