Good News: Trailer for Wes Anderson’s All-Star “Asteroid City” Is Dry Humor at Its Best, And a Return to Form

Share

“Asteroid City” looks pretty great from this trailer, which just dropped from Focus Features.

Wes Anderson is in a return to tongue in cheek form, very dry humor, as he sends up space movies, aliens, and a kind of stylized 50s culture. It’s set in a desert, filmed in Spain. There are nearly two dozen stars. In this trailer we see mostly Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwarzman, and Tom Hanks.

“Asteroid City” will open in Cannes in May, then in June in theaters.
