Wes Anderson will once again transport viewers to a delightfully eccentric world in Asteroid City, which hits theaters June 23 following a successful premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May.
The high-wattage film tells a story of a desert tourist trap that was once the site of an asteroid landing, and which also doubles as the location of an annual camp for stargazers and space cadets. Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jason Schwartzman, Matt Dillon, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Norton, Margot Robbie and Jeff Goldblum are among the starry ensemble cast.
Andersons distinct visual and narrative style is apparent more than ever in his newest project, spawning dozens of new collectors items inspired by his most beloved films from The Grand Budapest Hotel to the The Royal Tenenbaums.
