Bill Murray Boards Wes Anderson's Next Movie With Tilda Swinton
Bill Murray has just officially joined Tilda Swinton as part of the cast of Wes Anderson‘s new Spain-set film, per a report from Variety. Plot details for the new film are currently unknown, but rumors have been going around that it will be a love story of sorts. Production on the new movie will begin in August of this year, a month before Anderson’s The French Dispatch is even released theatrically. Swinton joined the currently untitled film back in June, and it seems likely that more casting updates will be revealed shortly.
Murray and Anderson collaborate frequently, with Murray appearing in a total of eight of Anderson’s films, two of which are voice roles only. These films include Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and the upcoming The French Dispatch, which also stars Swinton. The French Dispatch had its world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it received a 9-minute standing ovation. The film was originally set to premiere at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival before a July 24, 2020 release date, but was pulled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
