Chris Pine and Lily-Rose Depp added to Alpha Gang cast
The quartet have become the latest additions to the ensemble of the sci-fi comedy film from directors the Zellner brothers.
They join previously announced stars Cate Blanchett, Lea Seydoux and Dave Bautista.
When Alpha Gang was first announced last October, Channing Tatum, Zoe Kravitz and Steven Yeun were all set to be in the cast but have since dropped out for reasons that are unclear.
Insiders have attributed their exits to a multitude of factors, including scheduling issues.
The flick follows a group of alien invaders who are sent to conquer Earth disguised as a leather-clad 1950s biker gang.
The extraterrestrials are ruthless in their mission until they fall victim to the most contagious human condition of them all – emotion.
David and Nathan Zellner are both directing and producing the film while Blanchett and Coco Francini are producing for their Dirty Films banner.
The pair said in a joint statement previously: "The Zellner brothers' work never fails to surprise and delight us.
"In Alpha Gang, they have created a far-out world in order to lampoon something much closer to home: The hilarious, absurd, and peculiar truth of the human condition."
Pine is no stranger to sci-fi as he portrayed Captain James T. Kirk in three Star Trek movies, although he claimed last year that he was in the dark about a fourth movie in the rebooted franchise and was shocked to find out that The Flight Attendant creator Steve Yockey had been hired to write the script for the potential project.
The 44-year-old actor told Business Insider: "I honestly don't know.
"There was something in the news of a new writer coming on board. I thought there was already a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they decided to pivot. As it's always been with Trek, I just wait and see."
It wasn't the first time that Chris has bemoaned the lack of clarity about a possible fourth film as he complained that the cast are always the "last people" to find out about new developments.
The Wonder Woman star said: "In Star Trek land, the actors are usually the last people to find out anything. I know costume designers that have read scripts before the actors.
"It doesn't really foster the greatest sense of partnership, but it's how it's always been. I love the character. I love the people. I love the franchise. But to try to change the system in which things are created – I just can't do it. I don't have the energy."
The fourth Star Trek movie has been stuck in development hell for several years but Roddenberry Entertainment chief Trevor Roth told fans to expect a new film in the "very near future" last year.
He told Screen Rant: "I am not able to say much, but I can say that it is Paramount's intent to figure out the Star Trek side of movies and what's going on there. There's every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future.
"There's a lot of secrecy around what's going to happen there. But there is a plan getting into place. And we're very excited to see it return to the big screen."

Stuntman Ronnie Rondell, who was set on fire for Pink Floyd album cover, dies aged 88
Hollywood stuntman Ronnie Rondell Jr, best known for being photographed engulfed in flames for Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album, has died at the age of 88. A care home in the US state of Missouri announced his death on August 12. Rondell performed in numerous films and TV shows, including Star Trek, The Matrix Reloaded and Charlie's Angels. In 1970 he co-founded the Stunts Unlimited talent agency to supply stunt performers for Hollywood films. In a post on the Stunts Unlimited Facebook page, the company said: "Our hearts are heavy with the loss of the last of Stunts Unlimited's 3 esteemed founding fathers, Ronnie Rondell. "In a class all his own, Ronnie was a generous mentor whose talents set the bar for every aspiring stunt person. He was deeply respected, admired and loved. Ronnie was not just a legend, he was legendary and will be deeply missed." Rondell was best known for posing as the businessman on fire for Pink Floyd's 1975 album cover Wish You Were Here. His suit and hair were covered in flame-retardant gel to save him from injury. The photographer who took the iconic shot, Aubrey Powell, later told The Guardian that on the 15th take a gust of wind blew the flames into Rondell's face, burning off part of his moustache. Wish You Were Here topped the album charts in Australia, the US and the UK, and in 2023 ranked 264th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 500 greatest albums.

Top Gun 3 gets positive update following Skydance's Paramount purchase
The third Top Gun movie is a big priority for Skydance Media following the studio's purchase of Paramount Global. After Skydance acquired Paramount last Thursday (07.08.25) for $8 billion, the fate of the studio's current projects were called into question, though Skydance CEO David Ellison has stressed that both the Top Gun: Maverick sequel and Star Trek remain a top priority for the company. Ellison said: 'One of our biggest priorities is actually restoring Paramount as the No. 1 destination for the most talented artists and filmmakers in the world. 'Very simply, great filmmakers make great movies.' Ellison's Skydance deputy Dana Goldberg also praised Tom Cruise, 63, for his work on Paramount projects like Top Gun and the Mission: Impossible franchise. She said: 'It was to thank him for, frankly, the huge piece he's been in Paramount's history, Paramount's present and how important he is for Paramount's future. 'Top Gun 3 is a massive priority for us.' Top Gun: Maverick - which is the legacy sequel to 1986's Top Gun - stars Cruise as naval captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell as he returns to the Navy's elite flight school to train a new generation of aviators, confronting his past while leading them on a dangerous mission. Recently, director Joseph Kosinski teased the third Top Gun film would be 'much bigger' than 2022's Top Gun: Maverick. The F1 filmmaker told GQ: 'I think we've found a way to do it, not only in the scale of what we're proposing, but the idea itself of the story we're telling. 'We're thinking much bigger than … It's a really existential crisis that Maverick has in this, and it's much bigger than himself. 'It actually … I'm trying to describe it without giving anything away. It's an existential question that Maverick has to deal with, that would make Maverick feel small, I think, as a movie, compared to what we're talking about.' By the conclusion of Top Gun: Maverick, the naval captain passes the torch to the next generation of pilots, including Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Jake 'Hangman' Seresin (Glen Powell) and Robert 'Bob' Floyd (Lewis Pullman), though Kosinski teased there was 'still more story to tell' about Cruise's character. The director said: 'Yeah, there's still more story to tell for him. There's one last ride. So we're working on it now. 'Ehren Kruger, who wrote F1, is writing the script. Like all things, it takes a while to work things out, and we'll only do it if we feel like we've got a strong enough story.' Producer Christopher McQuarrie previously said the plot for the Top Gun: Maverick sequel was 'already in the bag'. During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning director said: 'It wasn't hard. I thought it would be, and that's a good place to go from is you walk into the room going, 'Come on, what are we going to do?' and Ehren Kruger pitched something, and I went, 'Mhm actually.' 'And we had one conversation about it and the framework is there. So, no, it's not hard to crack. The truth of the matter is, none of these are hard to crack.'

Simon Pegg calls Tarantino's unreleased R-rated film ‘batsh*t crazy'
Turns out we almost got a Quentin Tarantino-directed Star Trek movie, and according to one of the franchise's stars, Simon Pegg, it was exactly as bonkers as you'd expect. Pegg has revealed just how off-the-wall Tarantino's abandoned Star Trek script really was, and according to him, it was exactly the kind of chaos you'd expect from the filmmaker behind Pulp Fiction (1994) and Kill Bill (2003-4). Appearing at a fan expo in Boston over the weekend, the actor who plays Scotty in the rebooted franchise, said he was given a breakdown of Tarantino's vision by producers J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber. Pegg told fans the screenplay Tarantino pitched to J.J. back in December 2017 was 'what we call in the business batsh*t crazy.' 'It was everything you would expect a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek script to be,' he said. 'I think it would have been such an incredible sort of curio to see Star Trek through his lens. 'I don't know how it would have gone over with the fans, but it certainly would have been an interesting thing.' The project was separate from the planned sequel to Star Trek Beyond, and Paramount quickly launched development on it. The expectation was that it would be a hard R-rated film - gritty, violent, and unlike anything the franchise had seen before. Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, known for The Revenant (2015) and Twisters (2024), was brought on board to turn Tarantino's concept into a script. In a 2023 interview with Collider, Smith praised just how unique it would have been. 'It would've been the greatest Star Trek film,' he said. 'Not for my writing, but just for what Tarantino was gonna do with it. It was just a balls-out kind of thing.' While Smith wouldn't give away any specific plot details: 'I can't say anything about the story, he would kill me' - he did confirm that it was a typical Tarantino bold take. 'I think his vision was just to go hard. It was a hard R. It was going to be some Pulp Fiction violence. 'It was just really the edginess and the kind of that Tarantino flair, man, that he was bringing to it. It would have been cool.' The setting alone was wildly unconventional for a Trek film. Most of it was going to take place on Earth in a 1930s gangster setting. It's believed Tarantino was drawing from the 1968 Star Trek: The Original Series episode 'A Piece of the Action', where the crew encounters an alien culture imitating Chicago mobsters. Knowing Tarantino, this version would've also featured ruthless shootouts and fedoras. Smith compared what the film might have done for the Star Trek to how Taika Waititi reimagined Thor with Ragnarok (2017). 'I liked it because I think it's different, but the way that Ragnarok changed things. It was like suddenly it had a different feel for the Marvel stuff. 'It was like, 'That's fun. That's different,'' he said. 'And I guess Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) to some level, but it was just like a different vibe and that's what I thought that it could bring to Star Trek - just a different feel.' Despite the excitement behind the scenes, the project never left the drawing table, and according to Smith, the reason came down to Tarantino's famous filmmaking rule: ten movies, then he's done. 'Quentin and I went back and forth, he was gonna do some stuff on it, and then he started worrying about the number, his kind of unofficial number of films,' Smith recalled. 'I remember we were talking, and he goes, 'If I can just wrap my head around the idea that Star Trek could be my last movie, the last thing I ever do. Is this how I want to end it?' 'And I think that was the bump he could never get across, so the script is still sitting there on his desk.' The studio pivoted to developing a new prequel movie instead, with Andor (2022) director Toby Haynes and script written by Dark Shado ws(2012)writer Seth Grahame-Smith - but that version was also shelved. Now, Paramount reportedly intends to make a final chapter to wrap up the Chris Pine-led Star Trek films, with The Flight Attendant (2020)'s Steve Yockey writing the script. Tarantino, meanwhile, still hasn't announced what his tenth and final film will be. It was expected to be The Movie Critic, but reports in 2024 confirmed he had also scrapped that idea. So the big question remains - what will Tarantino actually end his career on? So far he's completed nine films: Reservoir Dogs (1992), P ulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2003-4: which he counts as one), Death Proof (2007), Inglourious Basterds (2009), Django Unchained (2012), The Hateful Eight (2015), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). While his work is undeniably brilliant, it's hard not to feel a pang of sadness knowing that somewhere in Hollywood, a batsh*t crazy, R-rated Star Trek script is gathering dust, likely never to be made. And it might have been a masterpiece. Still, fans remain hopeful: 'Maybe that's what's needed right now... To give cinema a wired boost since there's nothing good in theatres,' one Instagram user wrote. 'Someone finally has an original idea for Star Trek. They def should make it instead of this reboot,' begged another.
