Bill Murray is just one of the familiar faces (well, technically voices) set to appear in Wes Anderson's latest stop-motion movie Isle of Dogs, and it seems he's still going method for the role — opting to "sit" and "play dead" rather than "play ball" at the SXSW premiere of the film this past weekend.
On Saturday (March 17), Murray prefaced the Austin screening with a dramatic reading of a poem about dogs, accompanied by a cellist. He seemed decidedly less enthusiastic, though, during the post-show Q&A.
Murray appeared onstage alongside Anderson and fellow cast members to field audience questions, but he totally nodded off during some of Anderson's answers.
Check out footage of Murray's pre- and post-show participation below via Twitter.
Isle of Dogs is due out on March 23.

Bill Murray stayed awake long enough to sass someone, then took a nap at the #IsleOfDogs panel. 😴#legend #SXSW2018 #WesAnderson #premiere 🐕 pic.twitter.com/u3H4MuJaCI
