The clip features an epic song synch from David Bowie.
Selena Gomez and Timothee Chalamet are definitely not alone in the new teaser for Universal Pictures’ latest animated feature, which features a fitting musical boost from David Bowie.
In the short preview posted Tuesday (June 30), the two actors make their debuts as Fran and Joe, two rocket scientists who happen upon small, colorful extraterrestrials through their work. But the teaser mainly focuses on the two characters’ love story as it unfolds.
“Did I just make you blush? Oh, Joe, that’s adorable,” Gomez’s character tells Chalamet’s in one scene, teasing him as she helps him tighten screws on a rocket moments before he first asks her out. “I didn’t take you for a blusher!”
As their romance continues before an interruption from three incredibly silly space oddities, Bowie’s classic 1973 anthem “Space Oddity” plays, ramping up with cinematic strings. “This is Major Tom to Ground Control/ I’m stepping through the door,” Bowie sings on the track, which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. “And the stars look very different today.”
