Wes Anderson has said he’s afraid to look at people’s TikTok tributes of his films.During a new interview with Le Monde, Anderson opened up about the new trend on the video streaming platform, which has seen users turning everyday content into Anderson-esque footage using elements of his signature style.Anderson told the publication he wasn’t a fan of the the videos, saying: “I protect myself from that. I’d be afraid to think: ‘Is this really how people see my films?'”He did say that he was a fan of the Accidentally Wes Anderson Instagram account, which posts photos that look like they are from an Anderson film.

Despite “Asteroid City” receiving mixed-to-positive reviews, it appears Wes Anderson still has a ton of fans out there excitedly rushing to theaters to see his work, with the film earning a really solid opening weekend box office. However, while “Asteroid City” has only just hit theaters, all eyes are on what he has next, a new Netflix film, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” which is expected to arrive later this year.

Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” is in wide release this weekend (read our review), and as we’ve noted over the last few weeks, the filmmaker is moving at a quick pace never seen before in his career. 2022 and 2023 saw back-to-back Cannes premieres, “The French Dispatch” and “Asteroid City,” and later this year, he will release yet another film for Netflix, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” which is actually only 37 minutes long.

Already in limited release, Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” opens in a wider release this weekend, Friday, June 23. Essentially split into two parts, the film centers on a grieving father (Jason Schwartzman) who travels with his tech-obsessed family to a small rural ‘Asteroid City’ to compete in a junior stargazing event, only to have his perspective on life— his cosmology as it where— disrupted forever by world-altering events.

Margot Robbie, Matt Dillon, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton and Steve Carell couldn’t make it today for what’s already resembling an Oscars’ night selfie. Who we do have is Scarlett Johansson, Maya Hawke, Adrien Brody, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright and Bryan Cranston, plus the director himself, Wes Anderson. So, what makes this quirky comedy-romance-sci-fi set around a 1955 junior stargazer competition in the desert such a hot ticket? Well, it’s a Wes Anderson movie.

I wasn’t alive, but they did happen.

Wes Anderson has become one of the most recogniseable auteur filmmakers in Hollywood through his unique visual and narrative style.The director made his feature film debut with 1996’s Bottle Rocket, which also marked the acting debut of brothers Owen and Luke Wilson. Over his career, he’s been nominated for 15 Oscars and 20 BAFTAs, winning five of the latter for The Grand Budapest Hotel.His latest film is Asteroid City which, like nearly all his works, features a huge ensemble cast including Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Margot Robbie and Edward Norton.Asteroid City is the director’s eleventh feature film, and the eighth time he’s collaborated with Schwartzman, who first debuted in his 1998 film Rushmore.

Wes Anderson’s soundtracks were initially known for their Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Who, and lots of ’60s and 70s rock at first. Eventually, that started to change; Anderson split with composer Mark Mothersbaugh, found a new ally in French composer Alexandre Desplat, and the music choices were less immediately identifiable, not quite as conventionally hip, but still tasteful choices (think the use of Hank Williams in “Moonrise Kingdom,” The Bobby Fuller Band in “Fantastic Mr.

Wes Anderson has stated that Netflix was the perfect place for his new short film, because “it’s not really a movie”.The director, whose new film Asteroid City will arrive in cinemas later this month, has directed a Roald Dahl adaptation for the streaming service, which is set to be released later this year.Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, which is based on Dahl’s short story collection from 1977, stars Ralph Fiennes, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ben Kingsley.In a new interview with IndieWire, the director revealed that his new film will be just 37 minutes long. He said that he had wanted to adapt the short story collection for 20 years, but “by the time I was ready to do it”, the rights to Dahl’s works had been sold to Netflix.“Suddenly, in essence, there was nowhere else you could do it since they own it,” Anderson said, suggesting he only worked with Netflix because he had no choice.The director then added: “But beyond it, because it’s a 37-minute movie, [Netflix] was the perfect place to do it because it’s not really a movie.”Anderson said that he “had only a good experience with Netflix”, but added: “I’m very happy to be putting Asteroid City in cinemas.

With “Asteroid City” starting its limited theatrical release this weekend before going wide on June 23, Wes Anderson looks ahead to upcoming projects. And while he already has another projected line up he wants to shoot this Fall, before that comes “The Wonderful Life Of Henry Sugar.” The filmmaker’s Roald Dahl adaptation with Netflix is already in the can, but Variety reports (via IndieWire) that it’s less a feature film than a glorified short.
