Asteroid City

Released on Thursday, Wes Anderson's new movie 'Asteroid City' is filled with commotion, romance, heartbreak, and maybe even extra-terrestrial life.

As per the film’s official synopsis, the story centres around a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention, which was arranged to unite students and parents from different parts of the country for friendship and academic competition, but is dramatically interrupted by a life-changing occurrence. As he spends time in the town, Schwartzman becomes acquainted with its residents, including an actress (Scarlett Johansson) who he feels attracted to. Wes Anderson's new movie, Asteroid City, takes place in a desert somewhere distant where there's commotion, romance, heartbreak, and maybe even extra-terrestrial life.

Scarlett Johansson joins an already stellar cast on Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City' featuring the likes of Tilda Swinton and Tom Hanks.

It opens with families gathering in Asteroid City for the convention, and Johansson soon saunters on screen with her ’50s shades and perfect red lip, playing a magnetic movie star. But then, aliens appear to make contact with the earthlings and the town becomes a quarantine zone. If that wasn’t enough, there’s also Scarlett Johansson and Bryan Cranston, who are set to make their live-action debuts in a Wes Anderson film after both voicing characters in Isle of Dogs. Johansson sizzles in the first trailer, which was released on 29 March and offers more insight into the film’s major plot points. It features many of his regular players – Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Liev Schreiber, Stephen Park, Tony Revolori and Rupert Friend – but also a thrilling spate of newcomers to his candy-coloured world. Any new Wes Anderson film is, of course, cause for celebration but this one is doubly so thanks to its stellar (not to mention extensive) cast.

The trailer for Wes Anderson's upcoming comedy 'Asteroid City' has been released. The film is set in the 1950s in a fictional American desert town.

'Asteroid City' is set for a limited theatrical release on June 16 with a wider expansion on June 23.

The director's highly anticipated new flick will feature the likes of Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson.

The upcoming flick was also filmed in the Spanish town of Chinchón, near Madrid.

The director has kept busy since then, working on both Asteroid City and a

After years of indie classics from The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic to The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson is back yet again with Asteroid City.

On top of adding to the list of Anderson-Coppola projects, it also marks Anderson’s return to Focus Features. The film hits select theaters on June 16 of this year and is widely released on June 23rd. Jarvis Cocker, who was animated into The French Dispatch, will actually be on the screen this time playing a cowboy, while Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, and Steve Carell make their Anderson debuts. A life changing event happens during the convention, bonding curious and confused minds in the process. The film is set in a fictional desert town in 1955, where the citizens gather annually to commemorate a small asteroid that crash landed eras before. Following his signature formula of combining endearingly cringe characters with eclectic storylines and pleasing aesthetics, Asteroid City features one of his most stacked casts yet.

"Asteroid City," starring Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and more, arrives in theaters June 16.

The film, set in the 1950s, also stars Scarlett Johansson as a screen siren, as well as Steve Carell, Rita Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Jeffrey Wright and Liev Schreiber, just to name a few. According to the synopsis of the upcoming 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." Tom Hanks stars as an ornery, pistol-packing grandfather in the movie, which just debuted its trailer.

The trailer for the American filmmaker's next film has finally landed, and we are thrilled about it.

Anderson is also currently working on The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, a Netflix adaptation of a collection of short stories written by Roald Dahl. But then there’s a major disruption – and by the looks of the trailer, the world-changing events which rock the convention look likely to be aliens. The film’s score has been made by Oscar-winning French composer, and longtime Anderson collaborator, Alexandre Desplat.
