The trailer for Asteroid City has everything you’d ever want from a Wes Anderson film, plus aliens.
Anderson’s upcoming comedy is set in the 1950s in a fictional American desert town named Asteroid City. At a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention, designed to unite students and parents in a “friendly” scholarly competition, chaos ensues as world-changing, life-altering events take place.
As with any Anderson film, the cast is absolutely stacked: Margot Robbie, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Ed Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, Hong Chau, Grace Edwards, Aristou Meehan, Sophia Lillis, Ethan Lee, Jeff Goldblum and Rita Wilson all take part.
Asteroid City is set for a limited theatrical release on June 16 with a wider expansion June 23. Get your first taste here:
