Anyone who saw the Zellner Brothers' previous film Sasquatch Sunset - or really any of their other films, honestly - should know to expect the unexpected from them.

Even so, their new sci-fi comedy Alpha Gang sounds like a wild, left-field, star-studded stab at a superficially familiar alien invasion premise.

The film follows a group of humanoid aliens who arrive on Earth with the intent to destroy it, only to soon enough find their plans compromised as they're overwhelmed with human emotions.

And the Zellners roped in a stupid-good cast for the ride, with the ensemble including Cate Blanchett, Chris Pine, Dave Bautista, Léa Seydoux, Lily-Rose Depp, Adria Arjona, and Doona Bae.

Curiously another version of the film almost began shooting a few years earlier with a largely different cast, including Andrea Riseborough, Jon Hamm, Nicholas Hoult, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mackenzie Davis, Sofia Boutella, and Steven Yeun, but it ultimately fell through for reasons unknown.
