Judging by the first trailer, Asteroid City will feature all of Anderson’s signature quirks, from his signature symmetry and pastel color palette to a silly soundtrack and A-list cast—but what is this film really about?

“The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events,” reads the film’s official synopsis.

As always, Anderson managed to cast some of Hollywood’s biggest stars in his next project, and the cast includes the likes of 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 premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May before hitting the theaters. It will get a limited theatrical release on June 16 before expanding wide on June 23.

The 2019 Rome Film Fest’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be handed to the veteran actor by his longtime collaborator and friend Wes Anderson. 

Multiple outlets report that Murray and Anderson will take to the stage together for an “in conversation” session during the event which runs October 17-27. 

The 68-years-old actor 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, to name just a few. 

The festival confirmed Monday that its Official Selection includes Ron Howard’s Pavarotti. This year’s event will also pay tribute to late Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo on the centennial of this birth with a restored version of his Oscar-nominated 1959 holocaust drama Kapò.

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

The three-time Oscar nominee previously starred in Anderson’s movie The Grand Budapest Hotel, alongside Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton. They’ll both make a comeback in The French Dispatch, but aren’t the only actors Saoirse Ronan is reuniting with on the set of this intriguing project.

Anderson’s latest will also star Timothée Chalamet, who appeared alongside Ronan in Lady Bird. The two are obviously a match made in heaven, since they’re going to star in the upcoming Little Women adaptation.

The French Dispatch was described as a “love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th-century Paris.” It will includes three different storylines, and despite the rumors that were circling around in the beginning – it won’t be a musical.

The official synopsis still hasn’t seen the light of day, but The French Dispatch has been described as “a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th century Paris.” According to the sources close to Anderson, it will take place in the 1950s and center on three different storylines.

The cast of The French Dispatch was pretty impressive long before Chalamet and Swinton joined. It also stars Anderson’s regulars Frances McDormand and Bill Murray, plus newcomers to his world – Benicio Del Toro and Jeffrey Wright. It’s been reported Natalie Portman, Brad Pitt, and Léa Seydoux might be joining the cast, but those are just rumors at this stage.

This period piece will be Anderson’s first live-action film since The Grand Budapest Hotel, which won four Oscars and received a Best Picture nod.

Isle of Dogs trailer unveils a plot set in futuristic Japan where there is an “outbreak of dog flu.” All the dogs must be quarantined on an island full of trash.

Some of the movie features confirm that Anderson’s fans will love it: there are close-ups, warm colors, indie soundtrack, and Edward Norton is a voice behind one character.

Besides Norton, the voices are provided by Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Bryan Cranston, and more.

Isle of Dogs will come out on March 23, 2018, four years after Anderson’s last feature-length film Grand Budapest Hotel.
