Celebrated American filmmaker who is known for his artistic films is returning with a brand-new movie called Asteroid City. Directed and written by Andersen alongside Roman Coppola, the plot of the movie will follow world-changing events and how they affect the citizens of the fictional town. Robert Yeoman is the cinematographer and Alexandre Desplat gives the music.
Earlier today, the official poster of the movie was released along with the entire cast list. The ensemble cast consists of talented actors across generations that will be featured in the movie. Anderson is reuniting with Margot Robbie and Tom Hanks from The French Dispatch, and Scarlett Johansson, who lent her voice in the Isle of Dogs, is also included in the long list of names.
Other names include Jason Schwartzman, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Maya Hawke, Steve Carrell, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Matt Dillon, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan and Jeff Goldblum. Most actors have previously worked with the director.
The movie takes place in a fictional American Town. Set in the 1950s, a Space Cadet convention is held in the small town. The motive behind the convention was to bring the fellow parents and students together from across the country for a fellowship and scholarly competition. However, the event is disrupted by certain outer worldly incidents, which leaves the entire town flabbergasted.
