As seen in the three new clips from “Asteroid City,” Wes Anderson’s new comedy is, well, very much a Wes Anderson film. All of the stylistic hallmarks of the filmmaker’s work are present and accounted for in his new period tale about a group of people quarantined in a desert town while there might be an alien invasion or something of that sort. If you enjoy Anderson’s work, then it would appear you are very much going to love what he has cooked up next. 

As you have come to expect from Wes Anderson films, “Asteroid City” has an incredible cast—possibly the filmmaker’s best yet—featuring folks such as Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum.

“Asteroid City” makes its debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and will eventually be released in theaters beginning on June 16. You can watch the three new clips below.
