Written and directed by Anderson, the movie stars Benicio Del Toro, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Timothée Chalamet, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and more.
A short synopsis for The French Dispatch promises that the movie will “bring to life a collection of stories from the final issue of an American magazine published in a fictional 20th-century French city”.
It’s thought that the film could receive its premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which takes place May 12-23.
Anderson’s past films include The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
