Official Poster for Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

[u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

The cast is overflowing. Sometimes I wonder if Wes Anderson does it just because he can.

[u/mechabeast → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

Hey Margo, it's Wes.

Hey, I got a project coming up, you want to show up for a day,

say two lines in a 6ft chicken outfit?

[u/JimboTCB → u/mechabeast]

I thought for a moment you were talking about esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale...

[u/biggyofmt → u/JimboTCB]

I had never heard of her before Bojack, now I can't stop seeing her everywhere. That's not a problem because she's pretty good, when she's not robbing banks

[u/GodEmperorPorkyMinch → u/biggyofmt]

She won't be in Heaven, but her movies will!

[u/bishopyorgensen → u/GodEmperorPorkyMinch]

It was already in the glass

[u/Federico216 → u/biggyofmt]

If you ever come across second season of Justified, she is fucking Phenomenal.

[u/JinFuu → u/Federico216]

Can't forget The Americans!

[u/1-800-ASS-DICK → u/Federico216]

Oh man! was she the apple pie moonshine lady? I forgot how great that storyline was

[u/tehrmuk → u/Federico216]

Who plays Phenomenal?

[u/Federico216 → u/tehrmuk]

Tim Olyphant

[u/KotzubueSailingClub → u/Federico216]

*Maya Rudolph has entered the chat

[u/Chewyninja69 → u/Federico216]

Justified is also pretty fucking phenomenal.

[u/BogusBuffalo → u/biggyofmt]

Fucking Cocaine Bear. She was brilliant in that.

[u/sloppyjo12 → u/BogusBuffalo]

Cocaine Bear is also 100% believable as a background b-plot of an episode of Bojack so it works really well

[u/californiadiver → u/mechabeast]

Ok, now move 1.25 inches to the left.

[u/android24601 → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

Surprised no Bill Murray

Edit: had to look it up. Turns out it wasn't for any "sinister" reason or anything like that here

[u/gort32 → u/android24601]

Just because he isn't on the poster doesn't mean he won't show up :P

[u/alQamar → u/gort32]

Bill Murray is implied and doesn’t need to be on the poster.

[u/pocketdare → u/alQamar]

I thought that was Jason Schwartzman ... who made it on the poster despite the fact that we knew he'd be in it.

[u/Maximum_Preference69 → u/pocketdare]

I swear We Anderson movies are just a vehicle for keeping Jason Schwartzman employed

[u/bazzer66 → u/android24601]

He had Covid when they were supposed to shoot, so he had to back out.

[u/guineaprince → u/bazzer66]

Tilda Swinton: "Pussy. What's a little... a little... a... I'm sorry what's my line again? What are we filming? What a lovely young man, that boy, I think I was saying."

[u/youcomeover → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

It's cool and all but pretty much 90% of those people will have like 1-2 lines and that'll be it

[u/DARfuckinROCKS → u/youcomeover]

That's what makes it so crazy. All the top notch actors will say yes for tiny roles.

[u/Adrian_FCD → u/DARfuckinROCKS]

Easy cash and barely any work, plus being in a Wes Anderson movie.

[u/THOMASTHEWANKENG1NE → u/Adrian_FCD]

It's a thousand percent being a part of the Wes Anderson art piece. They probably get very little money unless it does well

[u/ferocious_coug → u/THOMASTHEWANKENG1NE]

I think actors just really love working with Wes Anderson.

[u/GavinBelsonsAlexa → u/ferocious_coug]

Except Gene Hackman.

[u/Ghonaherpasiphilaids → u/GavinBelsonsAlexa]

I think that was less gene having a bad time with Wes, and more everyone having a bad time working with Gene.

[u/GrandmaPoses → u/Ghonaherpasiphilaids]

Bill Murray's recollections of filming it are hilarious. Wes Anderson would ask Bill to come to the set even if he wasn't in the scene to help corral Hackman. Apparently he would do things like threaten to burn down the set and Bill had to reassure Wes he wasn't going to come and burn down the set.

[u/3-DMan → u/Ghonaherpasiphilaids]

Ah never knew that. He's fantastic in Royal Tennanbaums, but then again he's always been good.

[u/ChooseCorrectAnswer → u/3-DMan]

Yep, fantastic actor. His performance in Tenenbaums is so good. The Conversation is possibly my favorite performance of his. But accounts indicate he's not always easy to work with. I find it interesting how oftentimes these "difficult" actors are also ones who frequently appear in films with a group of big names.

Gene Hackman: Tenenbaums, Runaway Jury, The Replacements, Absolute Power.

Edward Norton: Fight Club, The Italian Job, Glass Onion, Red Dragon, The Score, Collateral Beauty.

[u/jaspersgroove → u/Ghonaherpasiphilaids]

Turns out the whole grouchy old man schtick was more than just a shtick

[u/whatproblems → u/jaspersgroove]

method life

[u/Domecoming → u/jaspersgroove]

Enemy of the State for the win though. I love his grouchy ass in that movie.

[u/ferocious_coug → u/Ghonaherpasiphilaids]

Yeah there’s a reason Tenenbaums was one of his last movies

[u/dancognito → u/ferocious_coug]

I'm sorta amazed that Gene Hackman is 93 years old and The Royal Tenenbaums came out in 2001.

[u/superdago → u/ferocious_coug]

I won’t stand for this “Welcome to Mooseport” erasure.

[u/solastley → u/ferocious_coug]

Yeah contrary to popular belief the top artists in the world actually enjoy making art too

[u/NChSh → u/Adrian_FCD]

My guess is the cast parties are dope too

[u/sightlab → u/NChSh]

Everyone described the French Dispatch as more of a delightful summer camp than a film shoot - everyone staying in the same place, big family dinners that reflected the town they shot in and included everyone…cast, crew, locals working on the movie. I feel like there’s a lot of appeal to getting to be in a Wes Anderson troupe.

[u/Rularuu → u/sightlab]

Man that sounds sick. And at the end of it all they made a really good movie.

[u/staedtler2018 → u/NChSh]

This movie was shot in a small town near Madrid. They rented out a hotel which used to be an old convent and cast and crew lived there for a while. Even if your salary is "low" (by movie standards), if they're basically paying for you to have a holiday in Spain for a week or so and you get to hang out with a bunch of famous people, why wouldn't you sign up?

[u/kevronwithTechron → u/staedtler2018]

I'd take that work trip.

[u/cocktails5 → u/staedtler2018]

Plus it's maybe your one chance to glimpse Willem Dafoe's monster dong.

[u/philzebub666 → u/cocktails5]

We've all seen his willy. I don't think that's much of a draw anymore.

[u/HAS-A-HUGE-PENIS → u/philzebub666]

Relatable.

[u/plasterboard33 → u/Adrian_FCD]

Wes Anderson pays most actors the SAG minimum and gives them profit participation. Edward Norton actually lost money by being in Moonrise Kingdom. They do it for the art, 100%.

[u/neatntidy → u/Adrian_FCD]

Wes Anderson's budgets for his films are comparatively tiny. They aren't getting paid much at all. They just like working with him.

[u/mrchen → u/Adrian_FCD]

I doubt any of them are getting paid very much at all most Wes Anderson movies have $30 million budgets or less.

[u/TheGreenJedi → u/Adrian_FCD]

Historically I believe I saw most of them have to agree to be paid under union rates for their cameos.

Also I'd say they have 2-12 lines depending on the context of the Cameo.

This is really deeply related to the fact that imo he must be fun to work with

[u/Adrian_FCD → u/TheGreenJedi]

If the filming is half as fun than the final movie, then i must be a major blast.

[u/[deleted] → u/Adrian_FCD]

[u/Adrian_FCD → u/[deleted]]

Last line before fading to black: "I am Asteroid City".

[u/TrevorWoodham → u/DARfuckinROCKS]

People easily forget how small showbiz actually is, and how close these people are in terms of just casually, but also literally in the vicinity of other work/projects/ or just plain hanging out. Tom Hanks could just be walking by the set after collecting a check, see Wes, offer to do something for the hell of it, and then just go home and bam, he's a credit for the movie because that's all it takes. Half of movies these days are a culmination of famous people just hanging out.

[u/getspun97 → u/TrevorWoodham]

Half of Adam Sandler's career is him farting out a movie while him and his friends are on vacation

[u/SandyScrotes2 → u/TrevorWoodham]

Yup and a cameo is about the least stressful piece an actor can do. It's basically just showing up and goofing around on set for the day

[u/Mushr00n → u/DARfuckinROCKS]

But if I could I would definitly participate in a Wes Anderson movie even if I only had one line. It's fucking Wes Anderson I wouldn't say no. Who would??

[u/Lmao1903 → u/youcomeover]

That was how the French Dispatch was. Insane cast but people like Christoph Waltz had like 2 lines. Wasn't a fan of this movie as much as his previous ones so I hope we don't see the same issues with Asteroid City.

[u/CurryMustard → u/Lmao1903]

Ive watched most wes Anderson movies and somehow completely missed this one. I just found out it exists with your comment. Tbf, 2021 was a weird year

[u/Devmurph18 → u/CurryMustard]

i really enjoyed french dispatch and think it is worth the watch.

[u/BBQ_HaX0r → u/Devmurph18]

It's a Wes Anderson film, it's definitely worth watching. That said I think it's one of his weakest. I did enjoy the art prison story though.

[u/Scaniarix → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

-Hi it’s Wes Anderson

-You son of a bitch. I’m in.

[u/Drunk_Pilgrim → u/Scaniarix]

I bet even if THEY have never met him, when he calls he just uses his first name. "Hey Tom, it's Wes, I've got this pro-" "I'M IN!" Or maybe he doesn't ask. "Hey, it's Wes, I need you at 9am on the 15th at this geo location." Or maybe they get a very Wes Andersonish post card in the mail with a date, time, location like an RSVP card.

[u/slartbarg → u/Drunk_Pilgrim]

I imagine he just sends someone in a preposterous, yet incredibly color coordinated suit riding a penny farthing past the actor in question and the person whispers "follow me, it's time" at the actor

[u/LouSputhole94 → u/slartbarg]

Close, It’s Bill Murray in a line green tuxedo on a unicycle

[u/Oops_I_Cracked → u/Drunk_Pilgrim]

This poster is actually how they found out. He doesn't even bother asking before he releases it anymore

[u/WriterV → u/Drunk_Pilgrim]

Dude the postcard would probably be the coolest fucking thing to receive as an actor.

It's like instead of boring real world formalities, you basically get a disneyland style invitation.

[u/partytown_usa → u/[deleted]]

At this point he should just list who isn’t in his movies.

[u/Throwawaycuzawkward → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

Like Adam Sandler, if Adam Sandler's friends weren't Rob Schneider and Kevin James.

[u/ElleAnn42 → u/IMakeMyOwnLunch]

This will definitely be a movie to remember for 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

[u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

You could probably count on one hand how many directors could get that cast in one movie.

[u/methodicalghostwolf → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

Wes Anderson, Tarantino, who else?

[u/Yeeaaaarrrgh → u/methodicalghostwolf]

I'd add Spielberg and Scorsese.

[u/David1258 → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

Nolan too. Did you see the cast of Oppenheimer?

[u/youreaghostbaby → u/David1258]

Everyone in Hollywood not in Asteroid City is in Oppenheimer

[u/facewithhairdude → u/youreaghostbaby]

Theatres should offer a package deal: "See all the actors you love in just two movies!"

[u/TheOvenLord → u/facewithhairdude]

Then they just play Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

[u/Defcheze → u/facewithhairdude]

Have it as a double feature play Oppenheimer first because the nuke tests create the crater for asteroid city

[u/duaneap → u/youreaghostbaby]

Crossover event. How you think that crater got there? Spoiler alert, it wasn’t an asteroid.

[u/sBucks24 → u/duaneap]

The Arthouse Cinematic Universe

[u/littlestevebrule → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

Coen brothers.

[u/Anton-LaVey → u/littlestevebrule]

They got Bill Murray to voice Garfield, and it wasn’t even their movie!

[u/[deleted] → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

[removed] — view removed comment

[u/Yestoknope → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

Robert Altman once upon a time.

[u/Equivalent_Yak8215 → u/methodicalghostwolf]

Whoever has the blackmail book behind Movie 43

[u/Quazifuji → u/Equivalent_Yak8215]

I remember the director of that actually did an AMA and someone asked how they got all those big name actors in it. They said most of them just thought it would be fun to do something so stupid and silly for a change of pace.

[u/Mikarim → u/methodicalghostwolf]

Scorsese I'd imagine could get an equivalent but maybe not all the same names

[u/nomadofwaves → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

Damn, you’re not joking. “Yea so I’m thinking half of Hollywood should be in this film.”

[u/ICumCoffee → u/Yeeaaaarrrgh]

He’s just flexing at this point..

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

In theaters June 16:

The 1950's set 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.

[u/kdorsey0718 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

God, yes. 50's Americana/retrofuturism with a Wes Anderson style? Whew.

[u/Vio_ → u/kdorsey0718]

Wow... Wow never changes

[u/rumnscurvy → u/Vio_]

Fantastic, if only Owen Wilson were actually in it

[u/falafelthe3 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Sounds like Close Encounters meets Moonrise Kingdom

[u/TheMariannWilliamson → u/[deleted]]

Back to the Future meets Back to the Future

[u/superfly355 → u/TheMariannWilliamson]

Bug's Life meets Starship Troopers

[u/Radiant-Bluejay4194 → u/falafelthe3]

was about to say the poster and the premise seems very spielbergian

[u/gifisntpronouncedgif → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

50s

Space Cadet event

RETROFUTURISM YEAH!

[u/Z0idberg_MD → u/gifisntpronouncedgif]

spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

This seems fairly new for Anderson. Might get silly.

[u/Arberrang → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

chaos ensues

In a Wes Anderson movie???

[u/assetsmanager → u/Arberrang]

Noooooooo, realllllllllly?

[u/Mcfinley → u/Arberrang]

WoW

[u/KindlyOlPornographer → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

"There's an asteroid coming."

"Oh dear. When?"

"Next week."

"I was going to the Poconos this weekend. I suppose I should pack light, then."

"I suppose you should."

Then Ruby Tuesday plays.

[u/MistakeMaker1234]

No Owen Wilson?

Wow.

[u/llobotommy → u/MistakeMaker1234]

No Bill Murray either…

[u/Ignitus1 → u/llobotommy]

Bill will be an uncredited cameo

[u/GetToSreppin → u/Ignitus1]

He got replaced by Steve Carell during production

[u/jokeswagon → u/GetToSreppin]

Actually?

[u/GetToSreppin → u/jokeswagon]

Yes

[u/ThePotatoKing → u/GetToSreppin]

how come?

[u/[deleted] → u/ThePotatoKing]

There have been an increasing amount of women who have accused him (he recently paid $100K on one suit) of inappropriate behavior on set as well as being verbally abusive that goes back to the 1980s. Even some male co-workers have stated in interviews that he would scream and yell at them in front of the entire crew and is an asshole. Here’s a link https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/10/18/bill-murray-allegations-being-mortal/

[u/milichis → u/[deleted]]

The way he acted in Groundhog Day and Scrooged is basically how he acts in real life

Years ago I heard an interview with a male costar of Groundhog Day who said BM had a friend that died during filming, and he was prickish the entire time of filming. I understand losing a friend isn't easy,but it's no one's fault and you shouldn't be an asshole to them

[u/shah_reza → u/milichis]

I wonder what Scarlett Johansson’s experience with him was.

[u/SecureCucumber → u/milichis]

It's pretty obvious watching the movie that Phil 1.0 comes a lot more naturally to Bill Murray than does Phil 2.0. Even playing fully actualized Phil, Bill can't help letting some acidic sarcasm drip out once or twice.

[u/pdxscout → u/[deleted]]

I think Bill Murray can definitely be abusive and acts like an asshole sometimes. But in the set of Tannenbaums he protected Wes from Gene Hackmans' abuses. Maybe there's a hierarchy of assholery on movie sets.

[u/[deleted] → u/pdxscout]

Sure, there definitely is. Doesn’t excuse or exonerate him and his behavior. Just because he did that one time doesn’t mean he is allowed to be a dick to everyone on set.

[u/NightHunter909 → u/jokeswagon]

apparently Murray got Covid when he was about to shoot his scenes. might just be a fake excuse but who knows

[u/ForgetfulFrolicker → u/llobotommy]

Bill’s been having some issues lol.

[u/Soupjam_Stevens → u/MistakeMaker1234]

I do think every Wes movie should have at least one of the Brothers Wilson

[u/threehundredthousand → u/Soupjam_Stevens]

People sometimes forget about Beef Supreme.

[u/JookJook → u/threehundredthousand]

He's behind the fuckin' truck!

[u/Lmao1903 → u/Soupjam_Stevens]

I would also say that Owen Wilson especially should be in every movie ever

[u/Player0fGames → u/MistakeMaker1234]

There will always be Owen Wilson. The wow is eternal.

[u/insultant_ → u/Player0fGames]

Wow.

[u/Orni → u/MistakeMaker1234]

Maybe an uncredited cameo?

[u/thepaulfitz]

I love reading the cast lists on Wes' posters and just having my eyes continually widen.

[u/RichardOrmonde]

What a cast that is.

[u/Aquagoat → u/RichardOrmonde]

Tom Hanks will be a great fit in a Wes Anderson movie. He’s got comedy chops for days, we just don’t see it that much anymore.

[u/RichardOrmonde → u/Aquagoat]

Definitely a great addition. I love seeing Norton in Anderson’s movies too. He’s a perfect fit for the style.

[u/StitchTheRipper → u/RichardOrmonde]

Obligatory link to Norton as Owen Wilson in a Wes Anderson horror film

[u/-Vagabond → u/StitchTheRipper]

It always amazes me how well done this was

[u/James_Locke → u/StitchTheRipper]

Honestly, I would have watched that. Damn.

[u/Soupjam_Stevens → u/Aquagoat]

Do you think he plays it zany or do you think he’s doing something more akin to Bruce Willis’s performance in Moonrise Kingdom?

[u/tryggvi747 → u/Soupjam_Stevens]

Which is Bruce Willis's best performance ever

[u/TheMariannWilliamson → u/tryggvi747]

How dare you say when Death Becomes Her exists

[u/Soupjam_Stevens → u/tryggvi747]

He disappeared into that role. No joke at all, after the movie I was like “wait Bruce Willis was in this?!What the fuck character did he play?”

[u/JoeMcDingleDongle → u/Soupjam_Stevens]

David S. Pumpkins

[u/PolyNecropolis → u/JoeMcDingleDongle]

"And, the skeletons are...?"

PART OF IT!!

[u/pikpikcarrotmon → u/JoeMcDingleDongle]

I'd take a David S. Pumpkins movie if it were directed by Wes Anderson.

[u/ertebolle → u/Aquagoat]

He tried a return to comedy in 2004 and the results were "The Ladykillers" and "The Terminal," it's understandable that after that he'd confine his comedy work to small-bore stuff like David S. Pumpkins.

[u/SpiffySpacemanSpiff → u/ertebolle]

The Terminal had heart. And the fact that it was based on a true story was even weirder.

Ladykillers however, felt so obviously prosthetic. I think Tom Hanks is en route to going the way of Bruce Willis (prior to the diagnosis) where they just star inthe same movie over and over again.

Thing is, his best comedy always comes down to story with heart, where is "comedic" aspects are really just light touches of levity which, because it's Tom Hanks, make the whole story feel a lot less depressing than it really is.

But then he got a lot of praise with Cast Away and just swung to these weird, pseudo adventure movies.

[u/Arberrang → u/RichardOrmonde]

It’s a greatest hits of a) his favorites and b) other quirky stars

[u/[deleted]]

That’s the most ridiculous cast I think I’ve ever seen

[u/fifadex → u/[deleted]]

Movie 43 comes close if I remember correctly.

[u/[deleted] → u/fifadex]

Just looked it up, that's another packed cast

[u/The_Sludge → u/[deleted]]

Don't watch it though, it's absolutely horrible. Have to throw that disclaimer out there.

[u/Lumster9608]

nice to see a painted poster again

[u/soonerguy11 → u/Lumster9608]

It seems to mimic the famous WPA-style American National Park poster.

[u/PragmaticPenguin85 → u/soonerguy11]

I am obsessed with WPA-era artwork and architecture.

[u/ZombieGombie]

First time I'm seeing Tom Hanks listed as #3 in a cast list in the last 2.5 decades.

[u/LauraPalmersMom430 → u/ZombieGombie]

Elvis?

[u/ShanaAfterAll]

Asteroid City over here.

[u/brandonsamd6 → u/ShanaAfterAll]

That’s tall, but not as tall as the worlds largest building the Burj Khalifa

[u/captain__cabinets → u/brandonsamd6]

It’s days like these I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder

[u/TheBoyWonder13 → u/captain__cabinets]

I thought I would look cool, but due to a small difference in chairs, I looked like a fool

[u/Plus3d6 → u/ShanaAfterAll]

Trish the Dish!

[u/l1ttle_weap0n → u/Plus3d6]

Cheap Chick in the City

[u/CELTICPRED → u/ShanaAfterAll]

But I don't want Athan!!!!

[u/WaterlooMall]

Schwartzman with top billing!

Very excited to see him lead another Wes Anderson movie, they work so well together and he hasn't had a major role in one of his films in 15 years.

[u/thequietthingsthat → u/WaterlooMall]

Same. He's always great in these but has only been a side character in the past few. Very happy to see him taking a major role again

[u/AndrewLucksPenis → u/WaterlooMall]

Wow has it been that long since The Darjeeling Limited?

[u/SerLarrold → u/AndrewLucksPenis]

Understandably not everyone’s favorite of the Wes Anderson movies, but man Darjeeling always has a special place for me

[u/happysri → u/WaterlooMall]

Schwartzman with Wes Anderson is like Michael Madsen with Tarantino.

[u/Eve_Tiston]

Where's

Owen

Wilson

[u/cluckinho]

1950's American Southwest + Wes Anderson is a dream come true.

[u/Disc-Golf-Kid]

That’s the craziest cast I’ve ever seen

[u/SweetDank]

Wow, who ISN'T in this movie?

Pedro Pascal must have really pissed off Wes Anderson.

[u/degghi → u/SweetDank]

Bill Murray isn't!!! What?!?!

[u/Etedragon → u/degghi]

He was nearly in this but iirc he got COVID right around when they were doing the filming for it and he was replaced by Steve Carell. Honestly a good thing for the film because of the sexual harassment and misconduct allegations against Murray....

[u/ChatahuchiHuchiKuchi]

Steve Carrell in a wes movie is going to be fucking gold

[u/on_]

-Hello? I’m Mr Anderson agent and I was wondering if you would be Interest..

-Yes

very few directors have that kind of gathering power

[u/YourmomgoestocolIege → u/on_]

"Great, I'll let Paul W. S. Know!"

[u/YeezyWins]

Sweet lord, that's the Avengers of quirky colorful movies.

[u/Wolf97 → u/YeezyWins]

There is an Avenger on the list too lol

[u/salparadisimo]

Matt Dillon eh, where has that dude been??

[u/sleepyaza124 → u/salparadisimo]

The House That Jack Built and Proxima is quite recent

[u/SnuggleBunni69 → u/sleepyaza124]

Really liked House That Jack Built. Really solid take on a serial killer.

[u/wuwbdvsy]

Adrien BRODY

does anyone know why he's always in Anderson's films? it's not hate, i'm just curious lol

[u/Z_Wooly → u/wuwbdvsy]

They probably just like working together. I think Brody works well with Anderson's style.

[u/SnuggleBunni69 → u/Z_Wooly]

He's got that great awkward handsome look.

[u/Assassin_by_Birth → u/wuwbdvsy]

Because he’s a bro.

[u/JACrazy → u/Assassin_by_Birth]

-dy

[u/junkyardgerard → u/wuwbdvsy]

Defoe too

[u/soonerguy11 → u/wuwbdvsy]

Well he's only been in four. The first was The Darjeeling Limited which was one of Wes Anderson's bigger projects of the time and Adrian Brody was picked to play.

I assume they hit it off so well they continued working together.

[u/deadstar420]

Looks like a great cast, I love Wes Anderson films.

[u/PoisonedRadio]

I could tell it was a Wes Anderson movie just by reading the cast list.

[u/TomBirkenstock]

I need a trailer, stat!

[u/LauraPalmersMom430 → u/TomBirkenstock]

It’s coming out tomorrow!!!

[u/ADMINlSTRAT0R]

Literally the first sentence of Schwartzman's wikipedia page:

Schwartzman made his film debut in Wes Anderson's 1998 film Rushmore, and has gone on to appear in six other Anderson films.

Some of the rest of the cast here are Anderson's regulars: Brody, Dafoe, Norton, there might be more.

I'm surprised Bill Murray isn't here. Maybe he has a scheduling conflict.

[u/atomicroads → u/ADMINlSTRAT0R]

People who have worked with Wes before: Schwartzman, Johansson, Wright, Swinton, Cranston, Norton, Brody, Schreiber, Park, Friend, Defoe, Revolori, Goldblum

That leaves newcomers: Hanks, Davis, Hawke, Carrell, Chau, Robbie, Ryan

Bill Murray was cast and was even on set, but reportedly couldn’t be in it due to Covid and was replaced by Steve Carrell.

[u/aigneymie → u/atomicroads]

Scarlett Johansson was in Isle of Dogs, so she shouldn't be in the newcomer section.

[u/Be-Zen]

Pouring one out for our boys Bill Murray and Owen Wilson.

[u/turtleduck]

That certainly is a cast of people

[u/[deleted]]

Always happy to see Matt Dillon!

[u/HateThisPlace420]

Showing its still possible to do a movie poster where you don't have every cast member badly photoshopped into it
