To celebrate the anticipated release of Wes Anderson’s latest endeavour, The Phoenician Scheme, which opens in UK cinemas this week, we had the pleasure of chatting to some of his eclectic cast to find out more.
The story of a family and a family business. Benicio del Toro as Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe; Mia Threapleton as Liesl, his daughter/a nun; Michael Cera as Bjorn, their tutor. Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, and Hope Davis also star.
Chattingto del Toro, Threapleton and Cera, we talk about the continued lure of Anderson and wanting to step into his worlds, the characters and their loveable, unique family dynamics, playing basketball with Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston and Riz Ahmed, who they think would be a great fit for the next Anderson film who hasn’t worked with him and much more.
