Everything you need to know about The French Dispatch

During the last few days all the details about ‘The French Dispatch’, Wes Anderson’s latest film, have been made public. The feature film stars great artists such as Timothée Chalamet, Benicio Del Toro, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody or Léa Seydoux.

Although the film was scheduled for release in August 2020, it had to be postponed due to the health crisis. Now, it looks like The French Dispatch will be shown on the big screen for the first time during the Cannes Film Festival. The acclaimed French film festival will be held from July 6 to 17 and will feature great screenings such as Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard’s Annete or Competencia Perfecta with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

In The French Dispatch, Bill Murray plays the publication’s editor Arthur Howitzer Jr; a character inspired by The New Yorker’s founding editor Harold Ross. Owen Wilson plays writer Herbsaint Sazerac; while other members of the editorial staff are played by Tilda Swinton (as writer JKL Berensen); Elisabeth Moss, Fisher Stevens, Griffin Dunne and Wally Wolodarsky (as a failed writer who never finished writing a single article).
