Fear not Wes Anderson fans, the two-year drought is almost over, as the Oscar-winning filmmaker is returning with his next feature movie The Phoenician Scheme sooner than we thought. Landing a May 2025 theatrical release date, The Phoenician Scheme marks Anderson’s 12th feature packing his trademark ensemble cast, and an exciting newcomer that I’m particularly buzzing to see.
Like clockwork, Anderson has reunited with Roman Coppola once again to co-create the story behind The Phoenician Scheme. And according to Variety, the distribution rights to the movie have been picked up by independent film studio Focus Features who, by now, is well-acquainted with the works of Anderson after releasing Moonrise Kingdom (2012), and his most recent movie Asteroid City (2023). The Phoenician Scheme will receive a limited release on May 30 in the US, before its wider release set for June 6.
