Wes Anderson's newest film, Asteroid City, is finally available to stream.
The comedy-drama-romance movie is about a stage play, also titled "Asteroid City," that tells the story of a Junior Stargazer convention in an American desert town in 1955, during which a UFO sighting occurs. The movie is both about this fictional play's plot and the drama behind-the-scenes of the creation and production of it. Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman, Bryan Cranston, Steve Carrell, Jeffrey Wright, Tom Hanks, Jeff Goldblum, Ed Norton, and many, many more A-Listers star in the film.
"There’s nothing I love more, even when it makes the process more challenging and tumultuous, than having somebody who just wants to throw themselves completely into the thing and believes in it," director Anderson told IndieWire. "The whole thing with this movie is about having spent some time with actors and experiencing what an emotional ride they go on and what it means to me to be with them."
The director also encouraged repeat viewings—so even if you saw it in theaters, it's time to watch it again. "I do feel like this might be a movie that benefits from being seen twice," Anderson said. "[Director] Brian De Palma liked it the first time and had a much bigger reaction on the second time. But what can you say? You can’t make a movie and say, 'I think it’s best everyone sees it twice.'"
