小行星城

Wes Anderson is now eying a spring shoot for his next feature film. Word first cropped up in a Producton Weekly listing about two weeks ago and we’ve been waiting to see if more details arrived before reporting. Now, more confirmation has come in. First, Italian journalist Gianmaria Tammaro has revealed that a Rome shoot is planned for the project. Then DiscussingFilm chimed in to confirm casting is already underway and the plot at the center of the film will be a romance. The American Empirical Pictures and Indian Paintbrush production will be live-action, with word there may be a few stop-motion animated sequences mixed in. While no other details are available just yet, Anderson has professed his love for Italian cinema many times over and even designed a cafe in Milan. A few years ago, he announced plans for a multi-episode, stop-motion endeavor, one that takes inspiration from Vittorio De Sica’s six-part, 1954 anthology picture The Gold of Naples. While it never got off the ground, he’s also discussed two other Italian auteurs who had a major influence on his work. “Antonioni, the first one I saw, maybe, was L’Avventura. And that was a huge international phenomenon,” Anderson said. “For me when I was 19 and I had the idea that I wanted to make movies, suddenly you find this Italian director, Fellini — the style [and] his voice [are] as strong as anybody’s in the whole history of cinema. But… it’s a comic voice. It’s such an invention that it [became] less of a surprise when I saw L’Avventura, where [the voice] is so striking and such a break with the tradition of movies before that. My immediate reaction was, I want to be like that. I want to try to do what he’s doing.”
