Apparently Murray had COVID when he was due to shoot.

According to a post up above quoting Variety, it was Steve Carell that replaced Murray’s character

Yep, definitely Wes Anderson

Hoping this will be Anderson's first 4K release, but as with Universal these days, you never really know what gets the 4K treatment. Can't wait

Read through a thread to get information? What madness is this?

Insane cast lineup, but i'm sure 75% of them will have a few lines at most.

Looks good though.

I have my account set to 40 posts per page, so this thread is two pages to me. Half the time to search!

This looks great visually, but it just seems pretty weird story-wise.

Didn’t expect the trailer to play before D&D…movie looks okay. But it was a neat trailer.

Asteroid City - Rated PG-13 on appeal for brief graphic nudity, smoking and some suggestive material.

NOTE: PLEASE NOTE THE ORIGINAL "R" RATING, BULLETIN NO. 2769 (2/8/23), HAS BEEN CHANGED BY THE APPEALS BOARD.

Great to see, I understand most MPA appeals are unsuccessful. So this means it got the PG-13 without any edits.

‘Asteroid City’ Review: Scarlett Johansson Leads Stacked Ensemble That Gets Marooned in Cloying Wes Anderson Whimsy

Quote:

With apologies to Guns N’ Roses: Don’t take me down to the Asteroid City / Where the tropes are tired and the gags ain’t witty / Make it stop (Oh, won’t you please make it stop).

To clarify an important point upfront, I’m no Wes Anderson hater. I get that he’s the most parody-able of contemporary American directors, with his taste for painstakingly designed retro-theatrical artifice, for boxes within narrative boxes, for framing and camera movement choices identifiable from a mile away, characters that drip drolleries and plots that plunge fearlessly into manneristic preciousness. But when all the elements click into place, Anderson’s manicured worlds can be enchanting places to visit. Or they can be suffocating constructs that wring all the charm out of his signature storytelling style. Which brings us to Asteroid City.

BluBonnet · 05-23-2023, 07:39 PM

According to Variety, it only got a 6-minute standing ovation

drb999 · 05-23-2023, 08:15 PM

It obviously sucks then.

I think a DX crotch chop should be added as a requirement.

ScarJo should have been naked the whole film. Would have garnered more than a standing ovation. Among other things.
