Liev Schreiber and Tom Hanks talk Death Rays and Jet Packs in the new clip from Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City

ASTEROID CITY is the upcoming film written and directed by Wes Anderson, based on a story by Anderson and Roman Coppola. The collaboration is a reunion among Anderson, Focus Features, and Indian Paintbrush following 2012’s MOONRISE KINGDOM.

ASTEROID CITY is a poetic meditation on the meaning of life. It tells the story of a fictional American desert town circa 1955 and its Junior Stargazer convention, which brings together students and parents from across the country for scholarly competition, rest/recreation, comedy, drama, romance, and more.

The film is produced by Anderson and longtime collaborators Steven Rales, founder of Indian Paintbrush, and Jeremy Dawson.

ASTEROID CITY has an all-star ensemble cast including Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Ed Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, Grace Edwards, Aristou Meehan, Sophia Lillis, Ethan Lee, Jeff Goldblum, Rita Wilson and many more.

Asteroid City will be released in cinemas in the UK and Eire on 23rd June 2023.
