The Asteroid City trailer brings Tom Hanks and Alien Contact into Wes Anderson’s verse

The first trailer of the new film by Wes Anderson city ​​of asteroids It just came out, and if you love Wes Anderson, you’re in luck: It looks like the most intense Wes Anderson movie Wes Anderson has ever seen. Flat compositions? Quick and dry script? Young geeks finding love? Everything is here. Also, this time an alien invasion and a certain Tom Hanks. In Anderson’s latest film, The French office, the wave was Truffaut, Godard and Monsieur Hulot; This time it’s 1950s kitschy America, with desert dinners, nuclear tests, and garish pastel colors of ice cream everywhere. Watch the trailer here:

Jason Schwartzman plays Mitch Campbell, a widower whose car breaks down in the arid but popular town of Asteroid City while driving his children across the country. He calls his stepfather, one Tom Hanks, with his Walt Disney mustache Save Mr. Banks beaten again, and a gun slipped into his belt, he calls for help, and befriends an actor played by Scarlett Johansson. As they get closer, it turns out that something else is also arriving: an alien with news from the universe to deliver. ” What is it ? asks a character. ” The meaning of life. Maybe there is!

And, in its most Andersonian twist, the casting is downright absurd. You have your own Anderson favorites that have been around for 25 years: Jason Schwartzmann, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Tony Revolori, Edward Norton, Jeffrey Wright, Stephen Park and Jeff Goldblum. Then there are Andersonites Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston and Liev Schreiber, who voiced characters in Anderson’s second feature. isle of dogs. All this, plus a host of new faces: Hanks, Margot Robbie, Hope Davis, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau and Jake Ryan.

Frankly, no one else makes a Wes Anderson film quite like him, so we’ll show up in pristine, pastel, perfectly symmetrical suits when city ​​of asteroids arrives in UK cinemas on June 23rd.
