Moonrise Kingdom, the new Wes Anderson movie starring Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Francis McDormand, Tilda Swinton, and Jason Schwartzman has a trailer out, and I don’t know what else a person could possibly need to know about it other than that cast. But in case you were worried, it appears to have everything we demand from a Wes Anderson project, including:
- Yellow text
- Center-framed shots
- Matter-of-fact line readings
- French music
- Vintage film stock
- Earth tones
- Quirky childhood romance
And of course, enough whimsy to power a thousand ukulele farms. Holy crap I’m excited.
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore — and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl’s parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.
Again, I don’t know what else you could possibly need to know about this to want to see it. I want to put that banner image in a turkey baster and squirt it up my butt while I sit in my tent listening to vinyl Rolling Stones in slow motion. Opens May 25th.

No characters wearing ascots though, but perhaps Anderson wore one every day whilst making this film.
“Perhaps”? Pfft.
WANT
Shirtless, plaid pants, scotch, and an axe. Thanks again for another brilliant Haloween Costume idea Billy (He lets me call him Billy)
I hated “Rushmore,” couldn’t sit through “The Royal Tennenbaums,” couldn’t even bring myself to TRY to watch “The Life Aquatic” and didn’t even consider “Fantastic Mister Fox” or “The Darjeeling Limited” as films.
And yet I want to see this. I want to see it hard…right in my dick parts.
Yeah, I have a feeling that if you didn’t like Rushmore or Tennenbaums, you’d probably hate Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, and Moonrise Kingdom (just speculation on that last one, of course). Fantastic Mister Fox is really different–give it a try. You might like it.
Wait, what’s different about this one?
Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Tenenbaums are three of my favorite movies ever.
However, I had a hard time sitting through Life Aquatic and Darjeeling and fell right the fuck asleep during Mister Fox. This one looks like it’s much more on point.
Junker23, I’m not sure. Granted, it’s still as quirky as can be, but there’s something linear about the trailer; like it has an actual plot.
Anderson’s previous efforts (those I’ve seen), to me, felt like plot was simply buried behind the twee and quirk.
Funny. I loved “Bottle Rocket,” “Rushmore,” and “Tennenbaums,” but was mediocre on the rest. I liked “Darjeeling Limited” but probably only for that terrific scene with the slo-mo walk set to the Kinks’ “Strangers.”
This movie is so Wes Anderson-y, it seems more like a star-studded (and actually funny) parody video.
Seriously. By the end, I expected someone to run by in a plaid twill shirt screaming “TWEEEEEEEEE!”
So basically, this is the Rushmore Tenenbaums.
AND I AM TOTALLY OKAY WITH THAT.
Oh yeah–I went to the same school in Houston where Wes Anderson went (about 10 years later) and where he filmed the majority of Rushmore. It’s my not-claim to fame.
/I tell this to everyone I meet who mentions Wes Anderson
//I’m sure it’s quite annoying
at least it’s true. i tell people i went to the 10 things i hate about you high school, and i have no idea why
Whatever gets you laid.
(I have never gotten laid because I went to St. John’s.)
Karl Rove went to my high school.
I’m not proud of this.
@Devo do you need a shoulder to cry/stab on?
I used to get my hair cut at the barber shop used in Rushmore
/pathetic claim to fame
I want that picture of Bill Murray to adopt me.
I’m ending every meeting from here on out with an exasperated “I’ll be out back, hhhhhhh, I’m going to find a tree to chop down”
Doesn’t this just tickle my faux bittersweet spot. But it isn’t Tilda Swinton in Billy Corrigan mode or even threatening to smell her armpits. So conflicted.
Gene Hackman plays the lightning.
I usually don’t like Wes Anderson films, but jimmeny cricket, this looks funny.
FINALLY. Wes Anderson / Bill Murray combos give me heart bonerz like cray.
Minotaur dick necklace or gtfo
i loved “Fantastic Mr Fox”, this looks dumb as shit BUT I WANT TO SEE IT BADLY
I can’t tell if this looks awesome or if it’s because they played a Mahky Mahk movie trailer just before it. That’s a brilliant marketing ploy if it was intentional. Wes Anderson is a mixed bag for me, some of his movies are brilliant and others are good. None suck really, which a lot of people in Hollywood can’t say, probably because they don’t wear argyle sweater vests.
Looks par-cheesey.
Bill Murray is always down for Strip Parcheesi.
Did I see a cat in a picnic basket? Is this really a movie, or some sort of Rube Goldberg machine designed to capture George Lucas without injuring him?

Great. Expanding 15 minutes of The Great Outdoors into a feature.
Wes Anderson movies are a cross between The Wonder Years with the monologue removed and Sprockets.
“With Michael Bay as Title Chooser”
Can it truly be a Wes Anderson movie w/o a Wilson brother?
