Timothée Chalamet and Frances McDormand Draft a Manifesto in First Clip From 'The French Dispatch'
Wes Anderson‘s highly anticipated The French Dispatch had its Cannes premiere yesterday, and there is already lots of buzz around the starry production. Searchlight Pictures has released a clip to continue hype around the film, especially as reviews come soaring in from all around the world. Originally scheduled to premiere at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Anderson fans will be thrilled to hear that the movie receives his usual high marks for style and casting.
The French Dispatch has been described as Anderson’s “love letter to journalism,” which follows three stories in the 20th century in France. One story focuses on the May 68 student protests and another on a feature story about art dealer Lord Duveen. The cast is really what stands out the most, as all of Anderson’s usuals are back plus some new faces. The film includes actors like Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Liev Schreiber, Elisabeth Moss, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Christoph Waltz, Jason Schwartzman and more.
