The trailer of the upcoming animated movie &lsquo;Elio&rsquo; has been unveiled. It tells the story of an 11-year-old whose biggest wish is to get abducted by aliens, as well as his Aunt Olga (voiced by Zoe Saldana) and Glordon (voiced by Remy Edgerly), Elio&rsquo;s unexpected first friend who happens to be an alien. 
The titular character is voiced by Yonas Kibreab. The film showcases Elio travelling millions of miles across the universe encountering a host of out-of-this world creatures who just might help him figure out exactly where he belongs. 
The cosmic misadventure introduces Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So, when he&rsquo;s beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, Elio&rsquo;s all in for the epic undertaking. 
Mistakenly identified as Earth&rsquo;s leader, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be. 
Directed by Madeline Sharafian (&ldquo;Burrow&rdquo; Sparkshort), Domee Shi (&ldquo;Bao&rdquo; short, &ldquo;Turning Red&rdquo;) and Adrian Molina (co-screenwriter/co-director of &ldquo;Coco&rdquo;), and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of &ldquo;Coco&rdquo;), the film also features the voices of Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO. 
Produced by Disney and Pixar, &lsquo;Elio&rsquo; is set to release in theaters on June 20, 2025. The new Elio trailer has a very different tone from the original, and several key scenes have been remade with a different story in mind. It&rsquo;s unclear exactly how much the upcoming Elio film has changed, but there are massive differences.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Zoe Saldana recently bagged the Best Supporting Actress for &lsquo;Emilia Perez&rsquo;. The film is based on Audiard's opera libretto of the same name, which he loosely adapted from a chapter of the 2018 novel &lsquo;Ecoute&rsquo; by French writer Boris Razon. 
The film follows a Mexican cartel leader (played by Karla Sof&iacute;a Gascon) who aims to disappear and transition into a woman with the help of a lawyer.&nbsp;
