Moonrise Kingdom reunion in Tuscany

From Edward Norton’s Instagram account:

When we made ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, Wes, Roman, Jason, Bill Murray and I all shared a big old house in Newport. It was about as fun as it gets. Like making home movies with your friends in middle school, except it ends up Opening Night at Cannes. We didn’t want it to end so after the premiere we went to Italy for a hang and we’ve kept it up. ‘Grand Budapest’ got handed out for a read the first summer and ‘Isle of Dogs’ was outlined the next. Bill wasn’t with us this summer but we wore his #WilliamMurrayGolf shirts to infuse the idyll with his spirit of fun. And #BMW loaned us incredible rides to get the growing families over the dusty bumpy Tuscan roads to gelato at the town on the hill. If I had to get stranded with a group on an island, I could make it work with these cats.

Kid in Every Wes Anderson movie

A new video by UCB Comedy for Characters Welcome. If you ask me, the best part is when he sings a Spanish version of John Lennon’s “Oh Yoko”.

Moonrise Kingdom… in Paris

invitationMeet Alki and Mick.

She is a Greek-American living in Paris for 8 years, addicted to stinky cheese, bicycles, and boys with freckles.

He is a French computer nerd that can recite all NBA and soccer statistics from 1950 onwards.

In 2010, they met on OkCupid.  Both fans of movies and fonts, there was an instant connection with each other, and with Wes Anderson.

Fast forward to 2014.  They danced on the banks of the Seine River to Françoise Hardy. And they will dance down the aisle in August.

They are each other’s grandest adventure.
