The poster features a beige background with the film's title in bold serif typeface, accompanied by the tagline "ONLY IN THEATERS MAY 30." True to form, it offers no drama or plot hints — just a promise of meticulous framing and pastel color palettes.
At CinemaCon, Focus Features provided attendees with a glimpse into Anderson's creative world by showcasing footage from The Phoenician Scheme. This marks the director's third major collaboration with Focus and centers on a family and their business.
As expected, the film boasts an impressive cast, including Benicio Del Toro as Zsa-zsa Korda, one of Europe's wealthiest men; Mia Threapleton as Sister Liesl, his daughter; and Michael Cera as Bjorn Lund, the tutor. Other notable actors include Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Anderson directed The Phoenician Scheme from a screenplay co-written with his longtime collaborator Roman Coppola. A limited U.S. theatrical release is set for May 30, with an expansion on June 6 — timing that suggests a potential premiere at Cannes. Universal Pictures will handle international distribution for this highly anticipated film.
