Wes Anderson, "Moonrise Kingdom"

Wes Anderson, the mastermind behind The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic, and a handful of other films, is getting down to business on his next film – Moonrise Kingdom.

Moonrise Kingdom will star Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Bill Murray, along with other Wes Anderson regulars like Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson.

Set on an island close to New England at sometime in the 1960s, the film tells the tale of two very young lovers (12 years old) who, feeling oppressed by their parents, decide to elope – but when news of their disappearance breaks, the whole town comes together to find them.

Bruce Willis will play the town sherriff, Edward Norton will play the couple’s camp leader, and Bill Murray and Frances McDormand will play the girl’s parents. Tilda Swinton has also signed on for the film.

The script was co-written by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, who helped Anderson write 2007’s The Darjeeling Limited, which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Moonrise Kingdom is due out next year. Anderson’s most recent film was the animated venture, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which starred Schwartzman, Wilson, and Murray, along with George Clooney and Meryl Streep.
