As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for movies that blend action, comedy, and science fiction, I’m genuinely thrilled about the cast of Alpha Gang. The Zellner Brothers have always shown an uncanny knack for creating offbeat, engaging narratives, and this project seems to be no exception.
Actors Channing Tatum, Dave Bautista, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, and Riley Keough have joined the cast of the upcoming alien invasion comedy “Alpha Gang” directed by the Zellner Brothers. They join an already impressive lineup that includes two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett, who is also producing the film, as well as Steven Yeun. The North American distribution rights are being handled by CAA Media, with MK2 Films representing it internationally. In November, the filmmakers will present the project to potential interested parties at the American Film Market.
Zellner Brothers’ Alpha Gang comedy casts Channing Tatum, Dave Bautista, and more
David Zellner and Nathan Zellner have gathered an impressive acting ensemble for their film Alpha Gang. The storyline is said to unfold in the 1950s and revolves around a band of extraterrestrial intruders posing as a motorcycle gang, with Blanchett’s character serving as their leader.
The Alpha Gang project was first unveiled back in 2020 with a star-studded cast consisting of Andrea Riseborough, Nicholas Hoult, Jon Hamm, Mackenzie Davis, Sofia Boutella, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. However, Cate Blanchett joined the team in April 2024, while only Steven Yeun remains from the original cast involved with the project now.
The filming of the movie is set to start in the spring of 2025. David Zellner has penned the screenplay. Together with his sibling, he will oversee production under the ZBi brand. Meanwhile, Blanchett and Coco Francini will produce alongside Dirty Films.
Apart from Alpha Gang, Cate Blanchett has two more upcoming projects: the spy thriller Black Dog and the comedy-drama anthology film titled Father, Mother, Sister, Brother. In 2024, the real-life couple, Tatum and Kravitz, joined forces for the former’s directorial debut, Blink Twice. Previously, Ava Keough teamed up with the Zellner Brothers on their 2024 absurdist drama film called Sasquatch Sunset.
As a gamer, I can’t help but feel starstruck when I mention that I recently shared the silver screen with Bautista, famously known as Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We both appeared in this year’s The Last Showgirl, which won the Special Jury Prize at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. It’s an honor to act alongside such a renowned figure!
Discussing the recent cast updates for Alpha Gang from mk2 Films, Fionnuala Jamison, their Managing Director, expressed, “These new comedic stars bring an incredible amount of talent to our team, further increasing anticipation for this highly-anticipated movie. This extraordinary cast, much like the story and its creators, is simply out of this world.” (Paraphrased from Deadline)
