Wes Anderson might get an awesome cast for Moon Rise Kingdom

When Wes Anderson decides he’s going to do another film he has no problem finding a cast.

His next film MOON RISE KINGDOM has attracted several stars who are all in current talks to star. Who wants in? Oh just a few minor people: Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton.

Anderson wrote the script with Roman Coppola and will start production next spring.

Here’s a rundown of the story and details on the roles:

“Moon Rise Kingdom is set in the 60s. Two young adults fall in love and run away. Leaders in their New England town are sticking the idea that they’ve disappeared and go in search of them. Norton will play a scout leader who brings his charges on a search. Willis is in talks to play the town sheriff who’s also looking, and who is having an affair with the missing girl’s mother, the role McDormand is in talks to play. Murray, a regular in Anderson films, will play the girl’s father, who has his own issues.”

Anderson and Noah Baumbach were planning another team-up, but I guess it will have to wait.
