Share this @internewscast.com

A new Wes Anderson film is on the horizon. Just over a year after unveiling his Oscar-winning fantasy anthology The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More, the renowned director is returning with another quirky and star-studded project.

Collaborating once again on the screenplay with Roman Coppola, Anderson presents The Phoenician Scheme, a dark comedy revolving around a father-daughter pair entangled in espionage. Benicio Del Toro is slated to lead the cast.

Filmed last year in Germany, Focus Features will distribute the film theatrically this May.

Here’s everything we know about the highly anticipated new film, including its plot, release date, star-studded cast, and the just-debuted trailer.

As per the logline, The Phoenician Scheme tells the story of businessman Zsa-zsa Korda, described as “one of the wealthiest men in Europe,” and his daughter, Sister Liesel, a nun whom he has named as his estate’s successor. Together with their tutor Bjorn, Korda and his daughter set out on an adventure to defend the estate from various adversaries.

The Phoenician Scheme will have a limited theatrical release on May 30, before expanding nationwide on June 6. Stay tuned for more details about where you’ll be able to find it on streaming!

As always, Anderson really knows how to put together a star-studded cast for his visually unique cinematic treats. 

This time around, Benicio Del Toro returns from his last venture with Anderson in 2021’s The French Dispatch and here picks up leading man duties. He’ll play Korda, the eccentric businessman who is rumored to appear in nearly every shot of the film. Relative newcomer Mia Threapleton plays Liesel, and Michael Cera plays Bjorn Lund. Rounding out the rest of the cast are * takes a deep breath * Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Benedict Cumberbatch, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, and probably many more.
