It's the Asteroid City that never sleeps, right? Wes Anderson's highly anticipated latest feature arrives in theatres next week, and the director has an adaptation of Road Dahl's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar on deck to be released on Netflix this fall — but he's already working on his next project, reportedly set to star Michael Cera.

Anderson's 13th feature has been confirmed to begin production later this year by Asteroid City cinematographer Robert Yeoman [via The Film Stage].

"I'm out of the loop on that one. But [Wes Anderson] works. He's a workaholic. I'll give him that," Yeoman told the publication. "We jumped right from Asteroid City into the Henry Sugar thing. We were in Spain and then we went to England."

"He works harder than anybody. He's just always got something going on. I'm a little more like: take some time off and enjoy my life," the cinematographer laughed.

Other details remain scarce, but Cera — who was originally attached to Asteroid City — is rumoured to be circling the film alongside Jeff Goldblum and Benicio Del Toro. In the even nearer future, you'll be able to catch the likewise-busy Cera in Barbie and the new season of Black Mirror.
