Different headliners within the Wes Anderson-directed Star Wars flick embody Scarlett Johansson as Leia. She’s labored with the director on “Isle of Canine” and “Asteroid Metropolis.” Johansson’s “Asteroid Metropolis” character was impressed by an previous Hollywood starlet, which is smart contemplating Anderson’s aesthetic has all the time been rooted previously. That is instantly obvious from the AI Star Wars trailer, as the visuals observe that method. There is a simplistic, relaxed aura to the video, proving that Star Wars would not want hi-fi particular results and spectacle to inform a narrative in a galaxy far, far-off.
A minimalistic, auteur-focused spin on Star Wars could be a breath of recent air. And if actors like Timotheé Chalamet, Edward Norton, and Willem Dafoe (who’re all within the trailer) had been to affix the franchise, it could be an thrilling day for followers. Sadly, it appears extremely unlikely that Disney would greenlight such a daring take. Past that, Anderson has by no means expressed curiosity in becoming a member of franchise fare, as signaled by his varied indie photos all through the years. His tenacity to stay to his weapons is why he is in all probability in a position to assemble star-studded, A-list heavy ensembles persistently, regardless of his movies not making out-of-this-world cash.
For what it is price, Johnasson and Jason Schwartzman benefit from the small issues about working with Anderson, together with his uncompromising artistic imaginative and prescient and the enjoyment he exudes on set.
