It seems everybody wants to be in the Wes Anderson business, as Deadline reports a whole host of great names are in talks for the director's next movie, Moonrise Kingdom, based on a script written by Anderson and Roman Coppola.
Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton are all interested in appearing in the movie, which is about a young adult couple in the 1960s who run away from their small New England town. The town's leaders are convinced the kids are missing and form a search party to find them.
Norton is in talks to play a scout leader who brings his charges on the search, while Willis would be the town sheriff, who’s also looking, and who is having an affair with the missing girl’s mother, to be played by Frances McDormand. Murray, who seems to be pretty enamoured with appearing in Wes Anderson movies, will play the girl's father, who has his own issues. There's no news on who Swinton might play.
Anderson plans to shoot the movie late next spring, and is currently in talks with a company called Indian Paintbrush to fund the pic.
