The trailer for Wes Anderson`s black comedy featuring Benicio del Toro in the lead role has been released

In the new film, the director gathered the entire Hollywood elite.

Benicio del Toro as an aviation tycoon with ten children and Benedict Cumberbatch, unrecognizably hairy, are just the tip of the iceberg in this amazing story.

In the trailer for Anderson's upcoming spy comedy "The Phoenician Scheme," the director showcased an impressive cast.

The lead role in the project is played by Benicio del Toro, who portrays Zha-Zha Corda, one of the wealthiest businessmen in Europe, a pioneer in aviation who survived six plane crashes.

In addition to Toro and Cumberbatch, the film also features Michael Cera, Bill Murray, Bryan Cranston. Viewers will also see characters played by Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, and Scarlett Johansson.

The plot revolves around Zha-Zha Corda's decision to leave his inheritance to his daughter, a nun played by Mia Tripleton. Meanwhile, the main character plans to implement an ambitious business project but is threatened by mysterious gangsters.

According to Indiewire, Anderson co-wrote the script with long-time collaborator Roman Coppola, with whom he previously worked on "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012).

Earlier, the director himself mentioned in an interview with Le Monde that his new work would be "a linear story about espionage, father-daughter relationships in a rather dark tone," where del Toro will appear in almost every frame.

Additionally, filming took place at the German studio Babelsburg, where previously created "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014) and "Isle of Dogs" (2018).
