Director Wes Anderson scores the plum opening night slot with his first Cannes film, this nostalgic look at 1960 America starring Bruce Willis as the sheriff of a small New England town who leads a group of townspeople in a search for two 12-year-old lovebirds who’ve run away together.
In Wes Anderson‘s 2004 film The Life Aquatic, Bill Murray opened by offering a tour of his submarine, the Belafonte, and his long-time collaborator is once again making use of his tour guide skills in a new promo video for their upcoming film, Moonrise Kingdom.
This clip finds Murray — slightly buzzed, perhaps, on spiced rum — giving an overview of the film’s New England island setting and introducing his fellow castmates.
Murray, who offers that he plays “a man,” explains that Edward Norton, “who does a lot of psycho work,” plays against type; Tilda Swinton is “tall, Scottish, pretty, she can do whatever she likes”; and Jason Schwartzmann — his Rushmore co-star — has a “real nice look.”
There is also a bit of talk about his work with “a bunch of scouts and kids,” which gave him pause to explain, as well as their tent trailers, his tartan pants (and how they’re made) and Anderson’s love of ankle-showing trousers.
