Wes Anderson Announces New Animation Isle of Dogs
Indie darling Wes Anderson has announced the details for his first film since The Grand Budapest Hotel. Returning to a style of animation familiar to fans of his Roald Dahl adaptation, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Anderson has announced Isle of Dogs and its ridiculously good cast.
Greta Gerwig and Scarlett Johansson are the latest editions to Anderson’s stable of actors which, for Isle of Dogs, include regulars like Bill Murray, Edward Norton and Bob Balaban, plus Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Bryan Cranston, Jeff Goldblum, F. Murray Abraham, Harvey Keitel, Akira Ito, Akira Takayama, Koyu Rankin, Courtney B. Vance and Yoko Ono.
In a video address, Anderson offer the merest glimpse of footage which we assume depicts one of the titular dogs. The project is about to begin production in London, and the director has partnered with Crowdrise to give fans the special chance to voice a character in the film and visit the set. Fans can donate $10 in support of The Film Foundation to enter.
The charity, founded by Martin Scorsese in 1990, donates money on behalf of film preservation.
As of now, no release date for Isle of Dogs is set.
