It’s set in a desert, filmed in Spain. In this trailer we see mostly Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwarzman, and Tom Hanks. Wes Anderson is in a return to tongue in cheek form, very dry humor, as he sends up space movies, aliens, and a kind of stylized 50s culture.

Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City" stars Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman, and Tom Hanks in the upcoming alien adventure film.

It’s set in 1955 around a Junior Stargazer convention, bringing together students and parents from across the country for scholarly competition, rest and recreation, comedy, drama, romance, and more. In classic Wes Anderson fashion, the description for the upcoming film is as quirky, stylistic, and vague as can be. Yeoman, Oscar-nominated for “Grand Budapest” and the visionary behind everything from “The Life Aquatic” to “The Royal Tenenbaums.” Alexandre Desplat composed the film’s score in his sixth collaboration with Anderson. The “Mozart in the Jungle” creator also penned “Moonrise Kingdom” and “The Darjeeling Limited” with Anderson and contributed to the story on “French Dispatch” and “Isle of Dogs.” The film is set to debut in theaters June 16 from Focus Features before a wide release June 23.

At this point, you’re either throwing money at the screen after watching this trailer (*raises hand*) or you’re just not interested. For those in the former camp, Asteroid City opens in theaters on June 16. The top two comments on YouTube sum this trailer for Asteroid City up pretty well: “Just when you don’t think it can get more Wes Anderson, it gets more Wes Anderson.” and “You know a Wes Anderson movie is a Wes Anderson movie, but you can’t really describe a Wes Anderson movie to someone who has never seen a Wes Anderson movie.” Here’s the synopsis:

Tom Hanks, Steve Carrell, Margot Robbie tag in for the idiosyncratic director's first foray into sci-fi.

The first trailer also hints at the arrival of an alien lifeform, and a government-mandated lockdown in Asteroid City. (The trailer hints at a romantic subplot between Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson’s characters.) With Asteroid City, the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker’s 11th feature film, he’s making his first foray into sci-fi, bringing along a typically impressive cast of A-listers and his signature formalist look.

The latest trailer for Wes Anderson's new film Asteroid City reveals a movie that is perhaps more Wes Anderson than any of his previous films, ...

In fact, I’d say this is more true about Anderson movies than any other director, including Quentin Tarantino, with the possible exception of Tim Burton.
