Wes Anderson revealed some details about his next film after Asteroid City.
Anderson has made a name for himself as a film writer throughout his career. Beginning with Bottle Rocket in 1996, he has directed hits like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom and Fantastic Mr. Fox. His latest film, Asteroid City, hits theaters this week. Anderson recently shared details about another project he’s working on.
“I finished writing a new movie right before the writers’ strike,” Anderson tells Cinema Teaser (via world of role). “If all goes well, we’ll be shooting this fall. This time I only have three main characters in the film, that’s it. A few secondary characters, but the core of the story is actually centered around two main characters (…) I’ve put off this project for years, but recently it resonated with me. Ever since my daughter was born seven years ago, my wife has said that I would end up writing a father-daughter story. I wasn’t sure what other stories I could tell, but then this movie came along. It will be a story about a father and his daughter.”
This would be a departure from his recent films like The French Dispatch and Isle of Dogs, which were full of characters.
When will Asteroid City appear?
Asteroid City will be released on June 16, 2023 by Focus Features.
