This article gave some details about the new Wes Anderson movie, Moonrise Kingdom that was just released in select theaters this past weekend (after being shown at the Cannes Film Festival previously). Anderson commented that he has been heavily influenced by French New Wave (specifically Truffaut) and despite the fact that many consider his films to be heavily dependent on his specific style, Anderson would rather not be known for repetition. The article touches on common themes in Anderson's films - peculiar characters, familiar cast members (the cast for Moonrise Kingdom including Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand,Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman) and specific scriptwriting. The plot of the Moonrise includes young adolescent love, stealing library books, and Khaki Scouts, but the rest of the story remains fairly mysterious.
I picked this article because 1) I love Wes Anderson! 2) I am planning to see Moonrise Kingdom eventually 3) I've already watched the trailer a few too many times
The article was informative, and I learned that Roman Coppola helped write the script as well as helping to write the script for Sophia Coppola's Somewhere (which I also love).
