Alien invasion is hardly a new plot for a movie, but Alpha Gang is looking to take a different swipe at the idea. And it has certainly assembled a quality cast, as Jon Hamm, Nicholas Hoult, Andrea Riseborough, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mackenzie Davis, Sofia Boutella and Steven Yeun are all on to star.
David and Nathan Zellner are directing the film based on David's script. Alpha Gang features a group who look and sound human, but are actually aliens on a mission to conquer our planet. 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.
The film rights are being sold at the Virtual Cannes market, and the aim is to have the movie shooting next year in Eastern Europe.
