Wes Anderson’s upcoming movie “The French Dispatch” now has an official release date.
Coinciding with what will very likely be a Cannes premiere, the film is officially set to open on July 24th, 2020. Described as a love letter to journalists, Anderson’s film will apparently follow a journalist who fights hard to create a French magazine in early 20th Century France.
According to this morning’s press release, the full title of the film is “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun,” Although not a great deal is known about the plot, the film does have a host of Anderson regulars and newcomers, including, Frances McDormand, Timothee Chalamet, Bill Murray, Saoirse Ronan, Benicio Del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, and Owen Wilson.
With Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” being released on the 17th and Anderson’s ‘Dispatch’ the following week on July 24th of July, a great month for cinephiles worldwide is surely coming.
