And "French Pie" has not yet been released, Anderson has begun to prepare for the untitled new film, the latest actor is the clown woman Margot Robbie, after the "old friends" Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Adrian Brody and the first time film emperor Tom Hanks have announced their joining.
Wes Anderson is a well-known detail control and "obsessive-compulsive" patient in the film industry, it is said that this kind of director will make the actors very mad, but quite contradictory, the popularity is very good, not only the actors who have worked with him are full of praise, they have expressed that they still want to cooperate, and the big names who have not cooperated will also pick up their luggage and go straight to the set without saying a word - this can be seen from the increasingly luxurious cast of Anderson's films.
When it comes to Anderson's obsessive-compulsive disorder, the audience is happy to hear, such as the extremely neat symmetrical composition and fairytale colors, but the actors suffer. For example, when filming his second film "Youth", there was a scene, filmed one after another, the actor felt quite satisfied, but he did not know why he could not pass, the result of Anderson explained, because he wanted to control the scene at 53 seconds, but the few shots were 56 or 57 seconds!
"Youth"
And when he took the crew out of the United States for the first time to shoot "Life in the Water" in Italy, Anderson wanted to set up a scene at the end of the scene of seagulls chasing fishing boats, which sounded beautiful, but you know, most of the seagulls in Rome where they were located were junkyards, and as a result, Anderson really pulled the crew to a garbage dump, the garbage trucks came in and out, and the pipes discharged green liquid and purple gas from time to time, disgusting the whole crew.
Life in the Water
However, because Anderson has a very good temperament, always whispering his ideas to the actors, it seems to be discussing with you, and giving you great respect, so that the actors feel that they have a voice on the set, so no one can complain.
And Anderson although "things", but really good for the actors, according to his old friend Bill Murray revealed, when filming "Moonrise Kingdom", Anderson specially hired a private chef for the crew, everyone wants to eat anything, casually ordered, even if the late at night suddenly hungry, supper is also on call.

Anderson asks the actors he likes to shoot the scenes, often saying "This role is specially tailored for you", and for others' requests, he also tries to meet the requests of others. Anderson, an actress who has worked with Anderson four times, once revealed that when making the animated film "Isle of Dogs", she had inadvertently asked Anderson if he had left her a role, and Anderson hesitated for half a day and said, "What role do you want?" Houston casually said, "Leave me a little poodle!" In fact, by this time, the dubbing of Isle of Dogs had been completed, and Anderson had completely forgotten about Houston, but he still promised to do his best to make up for it. In the end, Houston's name appears in the cast list at the end of Isle of Dogs, and her "voiced" role is a mute poodle – the problem is solved perfectly!
Therefore, you will see that the filmmakers who have worked with Anderson, no matter how strange their temper and how high and cold their personalities are, but whenever they mention him, they have changed their faces, afraid that they will not have enough vocabulary to exaggerate. But anyone who has dealt with Anderson can hardly dislike this strange but very friendly, gentle and considerate guy.
In addition, he is indeed talented and visible to the naked eye, and he is a little stubborn and clear and naïve, just like the characters he often shows in movies: stubbornly adhering to his own principles and rules, even if he is already a little out of place and self-sufficient, he must seize this "fading glory".
