It has been way too long since we’ve been treated to a live action Wes Anderson movie — so long, in fact, that we’re going to jump the gun on tomorrow’s weekly “Trailer Park” feature to alert you that the teaser for the director’s Moonrise Kingdom arrived online this afternoon. And it looks pretty wonderful! Not only are we working with a stellar cast (Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, and Jason Schwartzman), but the setting — a New England summer camp in the mid-60s — is the perfect match for Anderson’s nostalgic aesthetic. Does it look like we’re seeing anything new from the auteur here? Not really, but we don’t really mind. For our money, there’s no one who tells a twee coming-of-age story quite like he does. Even if the plot ends up being a totally bizarre mess, we’ll relish watching the film for the cinematography alone. Well that, and the scene with Bill Murray going to chop down a tree in his underwear. Click through to check out the trailer now, and let us know in the comments what you think of it.
