This is gonna be enormous – Isle of Dogs wins Silver Bear
Exciting news from Berlin, Wes Anderson has won the Silver Bear for best director. The grand prize, the gold bear was hotly contested with many in the press speculating Isle of Dogs to be a strong candidate, but unfortunately that went to another movie. However a silver bear is still an excellent achievement, and shows promise for the movie and the awards it might win.
Predicting things seems to have become somewhat of a tradition on this site, and so we think there’s a very good chance of picking up some Oscars, in particular the award for Best Animated Feature. Wes Anderson is still yet to win an Oscar himself, though his films have in the past.
I like the pastel hues of Jeff Goldblum – That’s the title of something

First 90 seconds of Isle of Dogs released
As the Berlinare premiere of Isle of Dogs draws nearer, Vulture has exclusively released a 90 second long clip from the actual, finished movie. The animation style and music will be very familiar to anybody who’s seen Fantastic Mr Fox, Wes Anderson’s previous animation, but this one looks much more violent, perhaps aimed at an older and less easily frightened audience his movies usually gather. An animated film not for the youngest audience, but for Wes Anderson loving teens & adults alike.
Isle of Dogs sure looks damn exciting to us, what do you think?
Isle of Dogs to premiere in Berlin
As we speculated back in April, Isle of Dogs will open at the 68th Berlin film festival. Isle of Dogs will see daylight on February 15th 2018 at the film festival, shortly after which it’ll be released in theatres in the US, UK and Australia.

Trailer of Wes-produced ESCAPES
via Slashfilm:
The only way we could get a Wes Anderson and Ridley Scott crossover would be in our dreams. But the next closest thing is the Wes Anderson-produced documentary Escapes, which follows the strange and beautiful life of Hampton Fancher, the former flamenco dancer-turned screenwriter of one of the most iconic sci-fi movies of all time, Blade Runner.

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.
