Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough, and Channing Tatum have joined the cast of Alpha Gang, an alien invasion comedy from Sasquatch Sunset filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner.
The film, which also stars Cate Blanchett, follows a group of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth.
According to the synopsis, they arrive disguised as a menacing 1950s-style, leather-clad biker gang, showing no mercy—until they catch the most dangerous, infectious human condition of all: emotion.
