Hoping to make an impact when it receives its world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, Focus Features has dropped a series of clips for Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, an off-kilter comedy with the requisite large ensemble that is centred on a fictional American desert town in 1955, where a junior stargazer convention is disrupted by… a visitor from outer space?
Once again tapping into his A-list rolodex, the Grand Budapest Hotel director has assembled a cast that includes Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum. Watch the clips below…
The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
Asteroid City crash lands in cinemas on June 16th, 2023.
