An even more than usually stacked ensemble cast are on show in the first footage from Wes Anderson’s new comedy, The Phoenician Scheme. The film, billed as an espionage thriller, is Anderson’s 13th as director, and the latest in a series he’s co-written with Roman Coppola, including The Darjeeling Limited, Moonrise Kingdom, The French Dispatch and Isle of Dogs.
