Article Summary

One of the high points of CinemaCon this year was the Universal and Focus Features presentation. Unfortunately, it didn't quite feel like Focus got the love it deserved after it had a rather spectacular latter half of 2024. Somehow, they managed to turn out a film about finding a new pope that went mega-viral and got meme'd to hell, and then they turned around and released the best film of the year (don't @ me). What we did get was a short presentation and then a barrage of three trailers showing off three of the big releases the studio has coming out this year. One of the movies, The Phoenician Scheme, is coming out very soon and is the next film from director and writer Wes Anderson. The trailer has been released to the masses, and if you like Anderson films, this looks like more of what you're going to like from him. We're back into the world of complex family dynamics which is a genre where Anderson seems to thrive. We got the trailer, five images, the bare bones of the summary, and a cast list today.
