In what has to be the biggest A-list line-up since Ocean’s Eleven way back in 2001, writer/director/producer Wes Anderson (Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Grand Budapest Hotel) has rounded up a serious collection of talent for his upcoming drama ‘Asteroid City’, landing in June 2023.
The synopsis, according to Variety, is as follows:
The 1950s-set “Asteroid City” is described as a “poetic meditation on the meaning of life.” The film takes place in a fictional American desert town during a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention. Chaos ensues as the event, organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition, is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
Sounds interesting, now wait till you get a load of who’s starring:
Holy shxt what a cast that is. To be fair, I’m not sure Wes Anderson has a film that isn’t star-studded, but this one seems exceptionally so which all the heavyweight names in there. It’s already packed with enough star power before you even get to Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, and Michael Cera at the bottom of the list. Oh, guess who else is in it…
Jarvis fxckin Cocker! Could this film sound any cooler?
Apparently actors have been known to take huge pay-cuts just to work with Wes Anderson, and you have to think that’s the case here unless this movie has one of the biggest film budgets of all time. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it by the time it drops in June 2023. Can’t wait.
