Wes Anderson's Next Flick


Evidently, Wes Anderson’s upcoming opus will be called Moon Rise Kingdom. In all likelihood, the film will pay tribute to moody lighting, vibrant color, strained family dynamics, quirky quixotic adventures, a myriad soundtrack and, of course, Owen Wilson. According to an early tip from Deadline, all the cool kids want to be in it: Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton…No doubt the list goes on. Allegedly, other Anderson regulars, like Bill Murray, are signed up…Big ups to Mr. Blume!
Straight outta the ether, here’s Deadline’s synopsis of the film:
“Moon Rise Kingdom is set in the 60s. Two young adults fall in love and run away. Leaders in their New England town are sticking the idea that they’ve disappeared and go in search of them. Norton will play a scout leader who brings his charges on a search. Willis is in talks to play the town sheriff who’s also looking, and who is having an affair with the missing girl’s mother, the role McDormand is in talks to play. Murray, a regular in Anderson films, will play the girl’s father, who has his own issues.”
