"Help yourself to a hand grenade." "You're very kind." Focus Features has unveiled the very first trailer for The Phoenician Scheme, the latest creation from master filmmaker Wes Anderson. His 12th feature film so far, this is expected to premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this May before it arrives in select US theaters in late May - then expanding to a nationwide release in June this summer. A dark tale of espionage following a strained father-daughter relationship within a family business. Twists revolve around betrayal and morally gray choices. Anderson states that The Phoenician Scheme is a story about espionage "with a rather dark tone", about a father & daughter, who are introduced in this trailer (played by Benicio Del Toro & Mia Threapleton). Of course there's a massive cast of everyone else you will recognize as well. Featuring Benicio Del Toro as Zsa-zsa Korda, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Benedict Cumberbatch, plus Mathieu Amalric and many, many others. This looks great! A fascinating, whimsical tale of deception and trickery and – well, just watch and you'll learn more about the complex plot. // Continue Reading ›
