About The Phoenician Scheme Movie
The Phoenician Scheme is an upcoming action crime thriller film directed by Wes Anderson, who co-wrote the script with Roman Coppola.
In June 2023, while promoting Asteroid City (2023), Anderson mentioned the film and confirmed that it had been written before the 2023 WGA strike began. Later, in September 2023, he revealed that Benicio del Toro and Michael Cera were expected to join the cast, and he hoped to start filming as soon as the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike ended.
The rest of the cast was announced on June 6, 2024, including Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Mia Threapleton, Tonio Arango, Imke Büchel, Imad Mardnli, Jaime Ferkic, Antonia Desplat, Aysha Samuel, and Sabine Hollweck.
The cast includes three Oscar winners: Riz Ahmed, Benicio Del Toro, Tom Hanks, and five Oscar nominees: Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Scarlett Johansson, and Bill Murray.
Principal photography began on March 12, 2024, at Babelsberg Studio in Germany and was completed on June 3, 2024. The film’s cinematography is handled by Bruno Delbonnel, while Alexandre Desplat composes the score, marking his seventh collaboration with Anderson.
In February 2025, Focus Features acquired the worldwide rights to the film, with its parent company, Universal Pictures, managing international distribution. This marks Anderson’s third collaboration with Focus Features, following Moonrise Kingdom (2012) and Asteroid City (2023).
