The film's IMDB page casts newcomers Timothée Chalamet as a lead character named "Zeffirelli" and french actor Léa Seydoux.

So far, not many other details have been confirmed about the new film. We do know some of the filming took place in Paris, and according to IndieWire, it will be "a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th century Paris."

The French Dispatch will be Anderson's first full-length feature since 2018's Isle of Dogs. In 2014, he directed The Grand Budapest Hotel.
