Alpha Gang is a new sci-fi comedy from Sasquatch Sunset filmmakers David Zellner and Nathan Zellner, revolving around a group of aliens which arrive on Earth with the intent to destroy it, only to find themselves overwhelmed with human emotions.

Last year, the film's absolutely stacked cast was confirmed, including Cate Blanchett - who also produces - alongside Channing Tatum, Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, and Riley Keough.

However, at the end of May the ensemble saw a massive shake-up, as scheduling conflicts caused Tatum, Keough, Yeun, and Kravitz to exit the movie, with Chris Pine, Lily-Rose Depp, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Doona Bae soon enough being drafted in as their replacements.

That's still a supremely strong cast any way you slice it, even if losing so many name actors in one fell swoop probably wasn't the best look for the production.

Considering the talent the Zellners have attracted to their new project, though, one can assume it's got quite the script.
