Wes Anderson fans rejoice! Today Focus Features dropped the first trailer for Wes Anderson’s next film and let’s just say it’s about as Wes Anderson as a movie trailer can be. “The Phoenician Scheme” features a star-studded ensemble of Anderson regulars. It also features Anderson’s signature style, both visually and comically. As a longtime fan, everything about this first extended look clicks. Even better, we won’t have to wait long to see it.
Anderson directs and co-writes (with Roman Coppola) a film that is described as an espionage black comedy. Benicio del Toro gets top billing playing Zsa-zsa Korda, a millionaire business magnate and father of ten. Gleaning much about the story from the trailer is an challenge, but it seems Korda takes on a “land and sea infrastructure scheme.” He’s accompanied by his daughter who’s a nun (Mia Threapleton) and his tutor (Michael Cera). Of course they encounter a colorful collection of characters in a movie that looks to be an Anderson fan’s delight.
“The Phoenician Scheme” hits theaters May 30th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
Yeah, I’m going to see this. Wes Anderson puts my ass in the seat and that fucking cast. Hell fucking yeah.
Gotta give it to him. He has no trouble drawing big-name talent to his projects.
a big Yes, the trailer seems promising. Wes Anderson movies are too unique to miss.
100% agree. Even his occasional misfires give you plenty to admire and enjoy.
Pass
Aww
That looks like a whole lot of bonkers fun.
It sure does. And I’m there for it!
I just watched the trailer, and it seems like a movie that non-Wes Anderson die-hard fans can tolerate.
It looks like fun, but then again, I hated most of his last movies.
It’s very Wes Andersonian for sure!!!
