First look at Anderson's latest ensemble comedy.
Unconventional aspect ratio? Symmetrical framing? Striking production design? A role for Bill Murray? It must be a new movie from writer/director Wes Anderson.
Anderson's latest, The French Dispatch, takes place in a fictional French city at some point in the 20th century and is centred around the French office of an American newspaper.
Along with the obligatory Murray, the ensemble cast includes Benicio del Toro, Frances McDormand, Jeffrey Wright, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Timothée Chalamet, Léa Seydoux, Owen Wilson, Mathieu Amalric, Lyna Khoudri and Stephen Park.
The French Dispatch is in UK/ROI cinemas August 28th.
Check out the first trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
THE FRENCH DISPATCH is a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city and brings to life a collection of stories published in “The French Dispatch” magazine.
