So I've been super lazy about posting anything lately, and there have been a few things I could've blogged about, but they just weren't important enough. Now this piece of news, which surfaced as a rumor a few days ago, is now apparently official. Deadline reports that Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray (duh), Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton have joined the cast of Wes Anderson's next project titled 'Moon Rise Kingdom' which is currently scheduled for a 2012 release date yet to be announced. So is this a dream team or what? Willis is definitely a surprise, but until we know more about what character he's going to be playing it's hard to pass any judgment yet. I for one think he could be quite interesting and entertaining in an Anderson creation. Here's the plotline as described by Deadline:
"set in the 60s. Two young adults fall in love and run away. Leaders in their New England town are sticking the idea that they've disappeared and go in search of them. Norton will play a scout leader who brings his charges on a search. Willis is in talks to play the town sheriff who’s also looking, and who is having an affair with the missing girl’s mother, the role McDormand is in talks to play. Murray, a regular in Anderson films, will play the girl's father, who has his own issues."
Maybe it's just the presence of McDormand and Swinton that makes me think this, but this seems like it could easily be the plot for a Coen Bros. film. Good news is its written by Anderson and Roman Coppola who also co-wrote The Darjeeling Limited. Well I'm intrigued and excited and will be eagerly awaiting any more news.
