Check out the first trailer starring Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, Michael Shannon, and Moses Ingram:

The official description reads:

From Academy Award®-nominated director Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence) comes a poignant and deeply human musical about a family that survived the end of the world.

Though there have been multiple films about families/survivors at the End of the World, The End does have a very interesting twist in that it’s a musical—like if Snowpiercer had more singing and dancing in it. Funnily enough, that movie also has Tilda Swinton in the cast.

Though a lot of the shots do look artsy, it does seem that this will be a more literal story as compared to more abstract fare like Joker: Folie a Deux.

As someone who actually enjoys musicals, I think this is a pretty neat concept, and it’s just the kind of experimental film that we need to see more of in theaters. I’m sure this would have just been swept under the rug if they planned to release this straight to streaming.

Watch out for The End when it comes to cinemas on Dec. 6.

Anderson and his team actually built a huge set for the town, and thanks to Kodak, we have an in-depth look at just how everything was put together. Check this out:

Though Wes Anderson’s style has always been apparent with his movies, it looks like his most recent films have been the one to get more and more stylish, with Asteroid City taking place completely in a huge set.

Like any piece of Anderson’s work, the set does look interesting, and with all the symmetry and colors popping, you can bet that the movie is going to provide some much-needed respite from all the big comic book films that have been coming out during the month of June.

Despite the critical praise for The French Dispatch, a lot of fans considered it to be one of the harder Anderson movies to swallow. Hopefully Asteroid City will offer that mass appeal that will bring in a much wider audience.

Here’s the synopsis for the film:

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 is set to release in theaters on June 16.

The synopsis reads:

Set during the rise of Fascism in Mussolini’s Italy, PINOCCHIO — a musical directed by del Toro and Mark Gustafson (FANTASTIC MR. FOX) with a score by Alexandre Desplat — is a story of love and disobedience as Pinocchio struggles to live up to his father’s expectations.

The movie has quite the cast with names like Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Tim Blake Nelson, and Christoph Waltz included. Longtime del Toro collaborator Ron Perlman is also part of the mix; and the main cast includes McGregor, David Bradley (Geppeto), and newcomer Gregory Mann (Pinocchio).

Though fans are familiar with the Disney-fied version of the classic fairytale,  fans expect del Toro’s version to have a darker tone, something more akin to the original tale. Surely Disney had no room for Pinocchio killing the talking cricket, and having his feet burned off for falling asleep next to the stove.

For del Toro’s version, the film is said to draw influence from artist Gris Grimly, whose art is more Nightmare Before Christmas than Lion King. We don’t know when we’ll get a new look, but I’m excited to see del Toro’s first fully animated movie.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio comes to Netflix this December.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson has joined the steadily growing cast of Anderson’s next movie. We don’t have any plot or roles revealed, but we do know that the film will be shooting in Spain.

Besides Robbie, the cast also includes the likes of Tom Hanks and Rupert Friend; previous Anderson collaborators who will also be in the film include Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray.

While Anderson is already busy putting together his cast for this upcoming film, a lot of fans are still curious about The French Dispatch which had been delayed due to the pandemic and is now looking to come out to general audiences this October. With Dispatch looking to already push Anderson’s unique style to the limit, it’s going to be interesting to see what’s in store for his next movie. Is he going to be pushing it even further with this next film, or could Anderson actually hold back and tell a simpler story this time?

With a star-studded cast though, I don’t expect Anderson to hold back.

A love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional twentieth century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in “The French Dispatch Magazine”.

Catch The French Dispatch when it releases for general audiences on Oct. 22.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harley Quinn actress Margot Robbie has been cast in Anderson’s latest project. We don’t have any details about the project yet, but we do know that the movie is set to start shooting later this month.

Robbie is a newcomer when it comes to the pool of actors that Anderson has previously worked with. Besides Hanks, the film’s cast also includes Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, and Tilda Swinton.

Recently Robbie has been nabbing roles with a lot of high-end directors from Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. She’s also proven to be a great producer herself and has also been cast in the Barbie film with Greta Gerwig at the helm.

We’ve yet to get any updates on Anderson’s next movie, but if anything, The French Dispatch looks to be Anderson taking his style to the limit, what with the framed narratives, symmetrical shots, and colorful sets. I think the star-studded cast which includes Timothee Chalamet, Frances McDormand, and Jeffrey Wright is also worth mentioning.

The French Dispatch gets a wide release on Oct. 22. You can catch Robbie in The Suicide Squad now available in theaters and on HBO Max.
