Wes Anderson, the new film is on the New Yorker

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 14 - Wes Anderson's next film starring Bill Murray will be inspired by the "New Yorker". "TheFrench Dispatch", which will hit theaters next summer with a disuperstar cast, focuses on the life of a weekly magazine that looks very much like the "bible" of New York intellectuals.
Editors and reporters, but also the three stories at the center of the story, can be traced back to the magazine of which the director of "The Royal Tenenbaums" has been a faithful reader since adolescence and of which he has amassed a collection that dates back to the 1940s. The film will be released in theaters on July 24th.
"The French Dispatch" is the weekly supplement to the "Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun". Anderson placed the imaginary suomagazine in the mid-twentieth century in the equally imaginary French metropolis of Ennui-sur-Blasé which, from the scene, does not have much to envy to the real Paris.
For the character played by Murray, Anderson was inspired by the legendary founder of the New Yorker, Harold Ross, who came from Colorado, with a hint of the equally legendary special envoy AJ Liebling. In the film TildaSwinton, Elizabeth Moss, Owen Wilson, Fisher Stevens, GriffinDunne and Jeffrey Wright of "Westworld", the latter for a part inspired by the writer and collaborator of the New YorkerJames Baldwin.
Wilson in the film is called Herbsaint Sazerac, a character modeled on Joseph Mitchell who for the real weekly created unforgettable portraits of the underprivileged. In the "ConcreteMasterpiece" story, Adrien Brody is the art dealer Julian Cadazio and then there is Benicio del Toro, Frances McDormand and Timothée Chalamet.
