Two installments have been released so far, with others to be added as the week goes on (and TRA will be there to update this post!)

Wes Anderson Title Cards

We received a tip on our Tumblr about Wes Anderson Title Cards, a blog that does what it says on the tin. In their own words:

I screencap only the title cards from each movie, chronologically from the Bottle Rocket short up to Moonrise Kingdom. Right now I’m at The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Check out the rest of their images at the blog.

Moonrise Kingdom soundtrack listing

Straight from Pitchfork Media via ABKCO:

A new Wes Anderson film almost always means three things: Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, and a solid soundtrack. And yes, all three of those things are true about Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson’s latest film, which hits theaters in New York and Los Angeles May 25, with a wider release in June.

Here’s the description from the film’s website: “Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness.” It also stars Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton.

The soundtrack is out May 22 via ABKCO and  available for pre-order on Amazon. It features music by Hank Williams, Françoise Hardy, Leonard Bernstein, and Benjamin Britten, as well as a new suite by Alexandre Desplat, who worked with Anderson on his last film, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Check out the track listing after the break. For a sample of the original score, see Pitchfork Media’s original post.
