The initial trailer for Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme reveals the narrative of a family-run enterprise.
This summer welcomes the return of Wes Anderson, who now holds an Oscar for his series of Roald Dahl adaptations. The Phoenician Scheme narrates the tale of a family and their business, featuring Benicio del Toro as Zsa-zsa Korda, one of Europe's wealthiest individuals; Mia Threapleton as Sister Liesl, his daughter and a nun; and Michael Cera as Bjorn Lund, their tutor. The ensemble cast also includes Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Focus Features has released the initial trailer in anticipation of a likely debut at Cannes, a limited release on May 30, and a wide release on June 6.
Although Robert Yeoman has filmed all of Anderson's live-action projects, including his recent Oscar-winning work The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, he took a hiatus from collaborating with Anderson. Bruno Delbonnel, who previously worked with the Coens as director of photography when Roger Deakins was unavailable for Inside Llewyn Davis, has taken on this role for the film. Delbonnel has prior experience with Wes Anderson, having shot his H&M holiday advertisement “Come Together” and making a brief appearance in The French Dispatch.
