A misunderstanding, an alien abduction, a trial of humanity as we know it, and… an alien who ate their own mother!
We can expect all of this and more from Pixar’s upcoming sci-fi movie Elio, as we learned from the new teaser trailer released yesterday.
The movie is based on the misadventures of a young boy called Elio, who is mistaken for the leader of Earth by aliens who want to put Earth on some sort of trial.
We personally love a bit of sci-fi here at Geek Native, and between the gorgeous space scenery, the silly premise and the intriguing alien characters, this seems like one wild ride we’re definitely going to look forward to!
Here’s the trailer:
Here’s the official synopsis:
“For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers—in Disney and Pixar’s all-new movie Elio, the universe calls back! The original feature film introduces Elio, an underdog with an active imagination who finds himself inadvertently beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.”
Yonas Kibreab (Obi-Won Kenobi) plays Elio, and his mother Olga is played by America Ferrera, who is described as being ‘super-confident, smart and can hold her own in any situation’. Also joining the lineup is Jameela Jamil and Brad Garrett.
Also, quite excitingly, Elio was directed by co-director and screenwriter of Coco Adrian Molina and produced by Mary Alice Drumm, who was also involved with Coco. This all sounds very promising!
Elio will be released in cinemas on March 1, 2024 – but before you go, JUST LOOK HOW PRETTY!
