Wes Anderson shares plot details for Asteroid City, starring Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson
The director's 11th feature film will be released by Focus Features

Prepare your dramatic eyeliner: Wes Anderson’s follow-up to The French Dispatch is getting closer. As reported by Variety, the acclaimed director’s 11th feature film has been acquired for distribution by Focus Features, who have released the following official synopsis:
Asteroid City is a poetic meditation on the meaning of life. It tells the story of a fictional American desert town circa 1955 and its Junior Stargazer convention, which brings together students and parents from across the country for scholarly competition, rest/recreation, comedy, drama, romance, and more.
Well, you can’t say it doesn’t sound whimsical! Though that description is light on details, it sure seems like there’s room for plenty of dry-humored hijinks, enviable costuming, and complicated relationships with father figures.
