When it comes to more concrete details, Variety reported today the $25 million shoot lasted six months. (In comparison, The Grand Budapest Hotel was a similar budget, but the shoot only lasted around three months, further fueling these runtime rumors.) The trade also reports the film is expected to premiere at one of the European film festivals this year and “a collective of Angouleme-based cartoonists will release a graphic novel detailing their own experiences with the shoot.”

The French Dispatch is the European edition of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun - a factual, weekly report on the subjects of world politics, the arts (high and low), fashion, fancy cuisine/fine drink, and diverse stories of human-interest set in faraway quartiers. On the death of the Editor -in-Chief, the editorial staff decide to publish a last, memorial edition highlighting the three best stories which appeared over the ten-year existence of the magazine. The stories involve an artist sentenced to life imprisonment for a double homicide; student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef. The film stars Wes Anderson regulars: Bill Murray, Jason Swartzman, Owen Wilson and Tilda Swinton, as well as newcomers Timothee Chalamet and Elisabeth Moss. The screenplay has the wit and imagination that has made Anderson's previous films, like The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle of Dogs such unique cinematic experiences.

Wes Anderson’s THE FRENCH DISPATCH has been rated “R” for “graphic nudity, some sexual references and language.”
