After the Academy Award Winning performance in ‘Tàr’ and starring in a few other movies as ‘The New Boy’, Cate Blanchett will now be doing something she has never done before. She will be starring in an alien invasion comedy. The movie has been titled ‘Alpha Gang’ and will be directed by the filmmaker brothers David and Nathan Zellner.
The movie will be produced by Blanchett herself, the director duo, and Coco Francini, Ryan Zacarias, Gina Gammell.
Alpha Gang serves the title well. The movie will be telling the story of a group of extraterrestrials who come to invade earth. They disguise themselves as regular human beings and go on a killing spree. The aliens dress up as 1950s bikers, with leather jackets and dangerous weapons. They are merciless killers on the loose until they encounter the most deadly thing here on earth: emotions.
It is not revealed whether Cate Blanchett will be playing the protagonist of one of the antagonists. Sue has stunned us with evil roles time and again. In projects like ‘Mowgli’, ‘Ocean’s 8’, ‘Blue Jasmine’, ‘Hanna’ and ‘Cinderella’ she has played gray to more prominently evil roles and has excelled in all of them. Fans now eagerly wait for further announcements about the film. It has been long since Cate Blanchett was seen in any comedy movie, that too of this much scale.
