Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough, and Channing Tatum have joined Cate Blanchett in “Alpha Gang,” an alien invasion comedy by “Sasquatch Sunset” filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner.
The official synopsis reads, "Alien invaders sent on a mission 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,”.
MK2 Films is handling international sales for the project, while CAA Media Finance is repping North American distribution rights. Principal photography is set to shoot in Spring 2025.
“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 are producing “Alpha Gang” for ZBi, with Blanchett and Coco Francini for Dirty Films, Gina Gammell for Felix Culpa, Ryan Zacarias for Fat City, Mary Aloe for Aloe Entertainment, and Andrea Bucko for Sugar Rush Pictures.
It marks the Zellner brothers’ follow-up to “Sasquatch Sunset,” the buzzy absurdist comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough.
“Alpha Gang” is presented by Rabbits Black whose executive producers are Sean Krajewski, Ronnie Exley, Lawrence Minicone and Jeremy Ross, alongside Tyler Peters and Sophie Curtis of Electric Void, and Tom Ogden, in association with Aloe’s partners at Partners in Kind, Gillian Hormel and Shelly Tygielski.
