From Universal 1440 Entertainment: ALIENS ATE MY HOMEWORK

Based on the first book in prolific author Bruce Coville's globally renowned "Galactic Patrol" series published by Aladdin Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing, Aliens Ate My Homework features the voice of two-time Emmy Award winner William Shatner ("Star Trek")  and comes from director Sean McNamara (The King's Daughter). The film also stars Jayden Greig (The Shape of Water), Lauren McNamara ("Summer of Dreams"), Kirsten Robek (The Edge of Seventeen), Dan Payne (Star Trek Beyond, Watchmen), Ty Consiglio (Wonder) and Alex Zahara ("The Man in the High Castle").

Aliens Ate My Homework is a suspenseful family comedy which follows the adventures of sixth-grader Rod Allbright (Greig) and the extraterrestrial lawmen known as the Galactic Patrol. When a tiny spaceship flies through his window and lands on his science project, Rod and his cousin Elspeth (McNamara) meet a group of friendly aliens, including Phil, a talking plant (voiced by William Shatner). The earthlings quickly join the aliens' adventurous mission to help defeat an evil alien criminal. After discovering the evil alien is disguised as a human - someone he knows all too well – Rod and Elspeth race to save the world from total planetary disaster.
