The press sheet for the film describes it thusly, "Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl."
Now, the real question here is whether we'll get the wit and quirky charms of Anderson's first three films (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Royal Tennenbaums), or if his rambling and vague tendencies as they've been on display in his last two live action films, The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited. Based on the trailer, it appears it could go either way. The inclusion of Edward Norton, Bruce Willis and Frances McDormand to the Anderson repertory players in the cast is a good sign though.
Moonrise Kingdom opens in limited release on May 25. Watch the trailer below.
