Zoe Saldaña is one of our favorite actresses and we love her. She’s been in a lot of great movies and we’re even including Crossroads in that list. Look, say what you want, but Crossroads is a classic.
Saldaña has signed on for Pixar’s movie, Elio. She will be lending her voice to the animated movie, playing Elio’s aunt.
Elio is about, “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.”
Look, we’re not down for being beamed up, but we are down for watching an animated movie.
Directed by Adrian Molina (screenwriter and co-director of Coco) and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of Coco), the film features the voices of America Ferrera as Elio’s mom, Olga; Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa; Brad Garrett as Ambassador Grigon; and Yonas Kibreab as the title character.
