The new footage previews Metropia, a sprawling city imagined as a future seen from 1939, where humans and aliens live side by side. Raymond Gunn, a private detective, is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and Venus Nova, a multimedia star. The trailer also features Gunn’s alien partner, EyeRa, and scenes of characters confronting attackers around the city.

Sam Rockwell voices Gunn, Scarlett Johansson voices Nova and Tom Waits voices EyeRa. The ensemble also includes Alan Tudyk, Matt Berry, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Chernus, Kether Donohue, Michelle Rodriguez, Aasif Mandvi, Matt Jones, Kathryn Hunter, John Ratzenberger, Justin Peck and Patton Oswalt.

Netflix has scheduled select theatrical screenings, including limited 70mm screenings, to begin December 4. The film is set to stream exclusively on the service starting December 18. The screenings would put the film in theaters before its streaming release.
