Wes Anderson Enlists Yoko Ono For Futuristic New Film, Isle of Dogs

Prepare to freak. Wes Anderson is back with a new movie that's about the only thing better than Anderson himself: dogs. In the Isle of Dogs, Anderson returns to the stop-motion style he used in The Fantastic Mr. Fox and goes in a more science fiction route with a story set in a futuristic Japan.

An outbreak of "dog flu" prompts an evacuation of all dogs in Megasaki City to Trash Island, which gets renamed (you guessed it) the Isle of Dogs. The film will follow 12-year-old pilot Atari Kobayashi, the ward of corrupt Mayor Kobayashi, as he flies off to the Isle of Dogs in search of his bodyguard dog, Spots.

As per usual, Anderson has brought together is whimsical, wild cast of friends for the new film. Isle of Dogs will star Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Liev Schreiber, F. Murray Abraham, Courtney B. Vance, Bob Balaban, and fucking Yoko Ono.

Isle of Dogs will be out on March 23rd, 2018, which means we have plenty of time to binge-watch all our old Wes Anderson favorites.
