Wes Anderson To Shoot New Film In Spring 2011, 12 Year Old Boy & Girl Sought For Lead Roles
Source: The Playlist
Production Weekly has been hitting Twitter in a big way over the past 24 hours, and now they've dropped their biggest piece of news yet: Wes Anderson plans to shoot his next film in the spring of 2011.
We did some digging and while we don't have too many details yet, from what we've heard, the director is seeking a boy and a girl, aged 12 years old for the lead roles. So could Anderson be continuing in the vein of younger fare after the excellent "Fantastic Mr. Fox"? Could be. At any rate, he's already said he doesn't plan to direct "The Rosenthal Suite," his rewrite of the French comedy hit "My Best Friend" that he was linked to late last year. And we don't think it's the long-gestating script he and Noah Baumbach have been kicking around that doesn't quite seem finished anyway.
At any rate, it's a new Wes Anderson film to look forward to. We're excited and eager to see what the director has in store.

Gold Trumpet:
Is it Moonrise Kingdom or Moorise Kingdom?
tpfkabi:
Hard for me to think of him doing a dual 12 yr old lead film set in modern times. Maybe it will have the feel of his idol Bogdanovich's Paper Moon.
Is a Twitter news source to be believed anyway?
The Perineum Falcon:
The news source is Production Weekly, posted to their twitter feed.
Perhaps he's doing something along the lines of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler?
