Shirm, Dunk, and Welly in Illumination's 'Not Alone.' Illumination & Uni Timothée Chalamet’s Joe and Selena Gomez’s Fran’s meet-cute over Joe’s clumsiness takes a wild, alien-filled turn in the new trailer for Not Alone.
The trailer for the animated film made by Illumination, the folks behind the Minions and Sing franchises, starts off peacefully enough: Introverted rocket mechanic Joe wakes up on a peaceful street with colorful houses. He drops the needle on a turntable that plays David Bowie’s classic “Space Oddity,” which serves as some foreshadowing as it soundtracks the rest of the clip.
Joe then heads to the office, where he has fun soaring around and works on a rocket. He clumsily drops a part, which astro-botanist Fran picks up. He blushes, she cutely calls him out on his rosy cheeks, and their meet-cute blooms into a date. “You want some lunch, with, uh, with me?,” he stammers. “I could do dinner,” Fran suggests.
