Aliens Stole My Body is a 2020 American adventure science fiction comedy film directed by Sean McNamara and based on Bruce Coville's novel of the same name. This film stars an ensemble cast, led by Jayden Greig, George Takei, Dan Payne and Alex Zahara.

The film premiered on Netflix on August 4, 2020, in the United States.[1] It is the sequel to the 2018 film Aliens Ate My Homework.

Plot

When the crew of the Ferkel learn that BKR has escaped from prison, they return to Earth to recruit Deputies Rod Allbright and Elspeth McMasters in their quest to foil his villainous plans. With Rod's friend Mickey tagging along, the heroes of the Galactic Patrol travel to the planet Mentat to rescue Rod's father, whose knowledge BKR needs to help him trap the entire galaxy in a single moment in time. The entire Allbright family gets involved in a final showdown at the edge of a black hole.

Cast

Nearly the entire cast of Aliens Ate My Homework returns, although William Shatner is replaced by fellow Star Trek alumnus George Takei. Takei says his trademark line, "Oh Myyy," during the movie's climax. Bruce Coville cameos as a neighbor of the Allbright's who witnesses the arrival of the Ferkel, alongside two other neighborhood children who are reading a copy of the original Aliens Stole My Body book.

Differences from the book

Unlike its predecessor, which faithfully adapted the story of a single novel, the film combines various plot points of the third and fourth books of the Rod Allbright Alien Adventures - The Search for Snout, and the movie's namesake, Aliens Stole My Body - into a single story, while adding many original elements of its own.
