Anderson’s latest collaboration with Roman Coppola has been in development for quite some time, and the duo finished the script before the writers’ strike. They’re keeping the plot details under wraps for now, but it’s safe to expect this film will be visually striking and feature a huge ensemble, just like all of Anderson’s previous projects.

The Phoenician Scheme will reunite Anderson with his frequent collaborators Bill Murray and Benicio Del Toro, who both appeared in his film The French Dispatch. Michael Cera is the newcomer to Anderson’s world, but he’ll fit right in, given his tendency for playing quirky characters.

Anderson is fresh off another busy year, which saw him release several acclaimed projects. In addition to his latest feature Asteroid City, led by Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Hanks, the seven-time Oscar nominee also released a quarter of short films based on the works of Roald Dahl, including The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.

Asteroid City takes place during a space cadet convention at a fictional American desert town circa 1955. This event was organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition, but it ends up being spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

Asteroid City is worth watching for its ensemble alone, and its cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Jeffrey Wright, Bryan Cranston, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum.

Asteroid City will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this spring before being released theatrically by Focus Features in June.

Asteroid City is Anderson’s first film since The French Dispatch in 2021, and we won’t have to wait long for its follow-up. The director’s next film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar starring Benedict Cumberbatch will be released on Netflix later this year.

The newly released logline describes Asteroid City as s a “poetic meditation on the meaning of life”, set at a Junior Stargazer convention in a fictional American desert town circa 1955.

“The film brings together students and parents from across the country for scholarly competition, rest and recreation, comedy, drama, romance, and more,” reads the official logline.

Like all of Anderson’s movies, this one features a star-studded cast, including the likes of Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Margot Robbie, Jeff Goldblum, and many more.

Peter Kujawski, chairman of Focus Features, said that they’re beyond thrilled to be the global home for Asteroid City, and described Anderson as “a generational talent whose films delight audiences around the world.”

After collaborating with Focus Features on Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson switched to Searchlight in recent years. The studio released his three most recent projects—The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and last year’s The French Dispatch.

The pair recently collaborated on The French Dispatch which is scheduled for release on October 22^nd, but they already have another project in the works. 

The Moonrise Kingdom actor has revealed the name of the new film, Asteroid City, saying, “We’re shooting it in Spain, about 45 minutes from Madrid. It’s fun out there, we’re having a nice time.”

Murray is not Anderson’s only frequent collaborator, as Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, and Scarlett Johansson will also be joining. “It’s the usual cast of characters,” said Murray. 

The Oscar nominee also confirmed that working with Anderson so often is not a coincidence. “There are certain people you don’t take their calls; and there are certain people you just say, ‘OK, yeah’. He’s one of those.”

Here’s to many more collaborations.

Anderson and Cocker originally teamed up for the cover of Cristophe’s “Aline.” Cocker’s version of the 1965 hit song is prominently used in The French Dispatch and will be part of the movie’s original soundtrack.

The fruitful collab on “Aline” prompted the duo to record a full album inspired by The French Dispatch. The LP will consist of covers of popular songs from artists like Françoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, and Brigitte Bardot, and will arrive on October 22nd.

This isn’t the first time that Wes Anderson and Jarvis Cocker have worked together. Cocker previously contributed to the soundtracks of several movies directed by Anderson while also voicing character Petey in his 2009’s animated comedy Fantastic Mr.Fox.

The French Dispatch finished filming in 2019 and was set to arrive in the summer of 2020. Since then, the movie, starring an ensemble cast featuring Timothée Chalamet, Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray, among others, suffered several delays before premiering this year at the Cannes Film Festival. It is currently scheduled for theatrical release on October 22nd in the United States.

The Oscar-nominated actress previously worked with the filmmaker on his stop-motion feature Isle of Dogs, but this will be her first time appearing in one of his live-action movies.

Johansson has been making headlines for suing Disney on breach of contract after the company released Black Widow simultaneously in theaters and on Disney Plus for $30. She says the decision causes a loss in ticket sales, resulting in a loss of $50 million in box office bonuses. Disney claimed her contract ensured a wide release, not an exclusive theatrical release.

Johansson’s credits include Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit, Lost in Translation, The Prestige, Match Point, Under the Skin, and Ghost World. Johansson won a Tony for A View From the Bridge.

The French Dispatch, Anderson’s recent film, premiered with strong reviews at the Cannes Film Festival this year. It’s expected to open this fall and be a contender at award’s season.

The 2019 Rome Film Fest’s Lifetime Achievement Award goes to 68-years-old actor. The award will be handed to the veteran actor by his close friend and collaborator Wes Anderson.

Murray has appeared in every Anderson film since the director’s sophomore feature. Wes directed Murray in The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited, Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest Hotel, among others. 

The festival confirmed Monday that the two will take to the stage together for an “in conversation” session during the event which runs October 17-27. The festival’s lineup was also partially revealed and it includes over 40 films. Its Official Selection includes Ron Howard’s Pavarotti. 

The complete lineup will be announced at a press conference October 4.

This exciting project is set in the 20th-century Paris, and it’s been described as a “love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper”. We still don’t know much about the plot, or the characters, but they’ll be portrayed by the likes of Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, and Timothée Chalamet.

Saoirse Ronan recently wrapped up filming for the upcoming Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women, and it’s only fitting that her next project reunites her with another brilliant director she adored long before they worked together.

“The thing that amazes me about Wes, and I’ve seen almost all of his films is that, is that they’re all great, they’re all brilliant. His films don’t make that much money but everyone who loves them, loves them,” said Ronan after meeting Anderson on the set of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
