Rarely does Anderson announce his cast, title, and synopsis before filming begins, which means we’re left to piece together various reports from the places in which he’s shooting his independently financed projects (by way of Indian Paintbrush, of course). Such is the case with Anderson’s follow-up to Isle of Dogs, … Continue reading ‘The French Dispatch’: Wes Anderson’s Next Film Gets a Cast!!!
