There’s a popular cliché that all Wes Anderson movies look the same, which is a misunderstanding of the reality that no other movies look like Wes Anderson movies. The girls who get it, get it, and for those that appreciate the visual majesty, weird humor and heartfelt sentimentality of Wes Anderson, the arrival of his latest film is always a cause for celebration.
The trailer for Anderson’s Asteroid City has now arrived and the first thing that will hit you, outside of the absolutely STACKED cast list (we’ll get to that in a moment) is the stark yet beautiful color palette inspired by the 1950’s southwest.
The film, which centers around a group of characters confined together at the site of an ancient asteroid, has some movie fans buzzing already about Oscar potential for next year. The movie stars what can only be described as a galaxy of Hollywood stars:
Scarlet Johansson
Tom Hanks
Tilda Swinton
Bryan Cranston
Edward Norton
Steve Carell
Adrien Brody
Willem Dafoe
Hong Chau
Matt Dillon
Margot Robbie
Jeff Goldblum
Is that the entire cast? No, it’s not. That is just a list of the members of the Asteroid City cast who have been nominated for Oscars.
Take a look at the trailer and see if you can spot any other familiar faces.
