Dave Bautista (“The Last Showgirl”), Steven Yeun (“Mickey 17”), Zoë Kravitz (“The Batman”), Léa Seydoux (“Dune 2”), Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & the Six”) and Channing Tatum (“Deadpool & Wolverine”) have joined the cast of “Alpha Gang,” an alien invasion comedy by “Sasquatch Sunset” filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner.
“Alpha Gang,” which also stars Cate Blanchett, centers on a group of alien invaders sent 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,” reads the synopsis.
MK2 Films is handling international sales for the project, while CAA Media Finance is repping North American distribution rights. The film is scheduled to shoot in Spring 2025.
Bautista is represented by CAA, Meisner Entertainment Group, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Tatum is represented by CAA, Relevant, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox. Keough is represented by CAA, Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox, and The Lede Company. Kravitz is represented by CAA, Untitled Entertainment, Bill Sobel at Edelstein, Laird & Sobel, and The Oriel Co. Yeun is repped by WME, Narrative, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
“Alpha Gang” will be lensed by cinematographer Mike Gioulakis, a regular collaborator with Jordan Peele, M. Night Shyamalan, and David Robert Mitchell.
The Zellner brothers previously directed “Sasquatch Sunset,” the buzzy absurdist comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough which was the talk of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
