Wes Anderson's Next Has A Title And A Big-Name Star!

Nordling here.

If it's not playing near you, it's understandable that you haven't seen Wes Anderson's MOONRISE KINGDOM yet.  If it is, and you haven't, you probably shouldn't wait - it's one of the best movies of the year and one of the best in Anderson's roster (I'm still a RUSHMORE man).  One of the best movies I've ever seen about that awkward time between chidhood and adulthood, and it's got terrific performances from everyone involved.  There, that's my public service announcement.

Anderson stated that his next movie would be set in Europe, and it looks like he's settling on a cast, as well as a title - THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, which would seem to confirm the European thing.  He's also thrown the net out for a wide range of actors to be involved - not only his regular staple of actors like Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and others, but he's also caught himself a big fish - Johnny Depp, according to Deadline.

Depp in an Anderson movie sounds like a chocolate/peanut butter matchup to me.  Anderson, who said this will be a more adult film than he's made before, has never worked with Depp before, but I'll bet that with the cast that he brings together, this is going to be a hell of a well-acted movie, at least.

And, yeah.  Go see MOONRISE KINGDOM.  Bring a map, because you're going on an adventure.
