Article Summary

  • Focus has debuted a new clip from Wes Anderson's upcoming film, The Phoenician Scheme.
  • The film is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18.
  • The Phoenician Scheme "from the same well" from Anderson's earlier hit, The Royal Tenenbaums.
  • Early reactions will follow its festival debut, with limited release set for May 30 and wide release June 6.

While most people are focused on the big releases set to be released later this month, such as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Lilo & Stitch, there is another film coming out at the end of the month/the beginning of June that is probably flying under your radar. The Phoenician Scheme is the next film from director Wes Anderson, and he's going back to some familiar territory this time around. During an interview with Empire recently, Anderson said, "It's from the same well," as The Royal Tenenbaums, so if that kind of dysfunctional family was your jam, this might be a movie you want to add to the list to check out.

We'll get some new early reactions since The Phoenician Scheme premieres at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18th before being released in limited theaters on May 30th and everywhere on June 30th. A clip released today shows the kind of humor, writing, and delivery we can expect from an Anderson film. We love to see it.
