In today’s edition of “What in the Hollywood fever dream is this?”, Alpha Gang—the alien invasion comedy starring Cate Blanchett—has cranked up the chaos by throwing in even more A-list names. And no, they’re not just here for the snacks at craft services (well, Channing might be).
Brace yourselves! Joining the stellar cast are drumroll please… Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoe Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough, and the ever-charming Channing Tatum. We’re talking about a crew so glamorous they could invade Earth just by walking the red carpet—aliens, but make it fashion.
The Plot: Aliens + Leather Jackets + Feelings = Chaos
So, what is Alpha Gang about? Picture this: a squad of extraterrestrials lands on Earth with one mission—to take over the whole dang planet. But plot twist—they’re undercover as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang. Yes, you heard that right. Think Marlon Brando vibes, but instead of “The Wild One,” it’s “The Weird Ones.”
Their mission seems foolproof… until it all goes sideways. Why? Because these space invaders catch feelings. And not just “Oh, that’s a cute puppy” kind of feelings. Nope, they get hit by the whole emotional buffet: love, jealousy, that weird feeling you get when you open a bag of chips and it’s only half full… It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, y’all.
As Deadline puts it, these aliens get struck by “the most toxic and contagious human condition of all: emotions.” Honestly, the Zellner Brothers really said, “Let’s make aliens discover what happens when you binge-watch romantic comedies at 3 AM while eating cold pizza.”
Channing and Zoe: From Lovers to Co-stars… Again
Oh, and get this—Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum, who are not just engaged but also Hollywood’s coolest couple, are working together again! These two can’t seem to get enough of each other. They just wrapped Blink Twice, Zoe’s directorial debut, where Channing probably tried his best not to dance through every scene.
And if you think there’s drama potential, don’t forget: Zoe’s already shared screen time with Riley Keough in Mad Max: Fury Road. Between alien invasions and their past collaborations, this cast might just be a chaotic dream team. Or a group therapy session waiting to happen.
TL;DR:
Aliens? Check. Biker jackets? Check. Emotions ruining world domination plans? Double check. If Alpha Gang isn’t on your watchlist yet, it’s time to rethink your priorities. At this rate, the movie’s press tour alone could turn into an intergalactic love fest.
