There’ll Be a New Wes Anderson Movie This Year!
Wes Anderson is probably my favorite Hollywood director. I don’t care much or think much about directors, but Wes Anderson is special, and we all know why. He makes Wes Anderson movies, and I love them all so much. And if, like me, you love these weird and wacky movies, then the trailer for The Phoenician Scheme is pure Wes Anderson.
Every new trailer for every new Wes Anderson movie is always the most Wes Anderson thing ever produced. He just keeps reaching new peaks of his own unique style. It’s weird and wild! There are enough plot points to make out some semblance of a story, but otherwise, this is just a madcap romp of famous actors doing Wes Anderson-y things. And I’m fully on board for that. Can’t wait!
The Phoenician Scheme comes to theaters on May 30, so less than two months away!

New Wes Anderson Short Film Incoming
I’m a big Wes Anderson fan! I love his movies, I love their style, I love their energy and their humor; they’re great films. We already had Asteroid City released this year, which I very much enjoyed. And now we’re getting a new short film on Netflix, called The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
This is based on a Roald Dahl short story, which I haven’t read. Anderson already adapted The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Dahl, and is a big Dahl fan. So here’s hoping this Mr. Sugar bit is just as good. It’s not a full length movie, which is fine. I’ll take any Wes Anderson project he feels like putting out.
The Wonderful Story of Mr. Sugar comes to Netflix on Sept. 27.

Asteroid City: A New Wes Anderson Movie is On The Way!
I love Wes Anderson movies. Maybe some people are sick of his style of filmmaking, but not me! Keep these cute, quirky, funny movies coming. And Asteroid City — or at least the trailer for Asteroid City — is the most Wes Anderson thing ever.
Looks wonderful! Looks quirky! Great cast, funny deadpan humor, and now some sci fi. Sounds perfect to me. I love the dialogue, I love the premise, I love the sense of humor; I’m going to just keep loving these Wes Anderson films. The only problem is that they rarely play in my town. I have to hope the local indie theater gets the film, because the main theater doesn’t get his movies until months later. Then I have to make a field trip to the city an hour away to see these films. That’s never fun.
Asteroid City comes to theaters on June 16.

The Most Wes Anderson Movie Trailer of All Time
The fear is that, some day, Wes Anderson will make a movie that is so suffused with Wes Anderson tics that the movie will collapse in on itself. The trailer for his latest film, The French Dispatch, comes dangerous close to that event horizon.
I love it anyway!
I am a huge Wes Anderson fan and I couldn’t be more excited for The French Dispatch. It’s about journalists, of which I am one, and it’s starring as all-star a cast as Wes Anderson has ever had at his disposal!
The trailer looks damn good and damn weird, which is exactly what I’m hoping for! The French Dispatch comes out on July 24.

The Hunt is on for Isle of Dogs
Wes Anderson’s new film, Isle of Dogs, is out in select theaters — nowhere near me. I think the wide release is sometime in April. Basically, I’m desperate to see this movie, but have no idea when it will be available, or if it will even play at my local movie theaters. Why are Wes Anderson movies so limited?! Is he not universally beloved?! Honestly!
Yeah, Honest Trailers nailed him pretty good. The movies, characters, themes, songs and everything else are still awesome. Somebody bring me Isle of Dogs!
