The Life Aquatic News

Cate Blanchett and Willem Dafoe are joining the cast of Wes Anderson's next movie, The Life Aquatic. Bill Murray stars as an oceanographer, who will be the center of the film, as he and his crew go on "a series of wild deep-sea adventures, including the search for a shark" (Hollywood Reporter). The rest of the cast includes Anjelica Huston, Owen Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Stormare, and Gothamist's favorite Anderson regular, Kumar Pallana ("Man, I blew it. I blew it, man.").

"did you ever have a touch to lose!?"

Henry Blume

how exactly did wes decide to be "cool"- he's made three excellent films. Otherwise, who gives a shit?

What's with all the dopey little scenesters that cry sellout when version number 10 of their favorite indie film isn't made by the director who made version number 1?

Gina

Is this film still filming?

Kumar rocks my socks!

I wonder if Wes will have his girlfriend Tara Subkoff join the cast as well?

Wes Anderson was so cool until he decided to be "Cool". It's just sad.

Oh! Thank you for mentioning Kumar, there's no one better. Ok, maybe one person, Richard Knox...aka The Hoodjumper ("You drivin' this car?") and member of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. But Kumar Pullana right up there with Moleman in my Little But Not Forgotten ranking.
