Wes Anderson is rounding up the gang.

Like many directors (hey, Christopher Nolan and Tim Burton!), The Grand Budapest Hotel filmmaker likes to work with certain actors, meaning they often find themselves cast in many of his movies.

These stars include Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton who have all appeared in a combination of The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonlight Kingdom, and The Isle of Dogs.

The trio will once again be working with the director on his forthcoming film The French Dispatch, and will also be joined by another former collaborator — Saoirse Ronan.

The film has been described as a “love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th-century Paris” and includes three different storylines.

Timothée Chalamet — who has worked with Saoirse Ronan twice before — is also part of the cast, along with Benicio Del Toro and Jefferey Wright.
