Pulled from its planned Cannes premiere last year, Wes Anderson's new film is nothing if not a distinctly Anderson production, following a group of journalists working for an American newspaper in a fictional French city.

The cast is stacked, including the likes of Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Mathieu Amalric, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Liev Schreiber, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, and Anjelica Huston. Yup.

The trailer makes it clear this is another visually stunning - and yes, totally symmetrical - offering from the singular filmmaker, and could very well be one of the earliest threats for 2022's Oscar season.

Release Date: May
