Wes Andersons next offering is rumoured to be a musical set in post-World War II France, as French publication Premiere reports. Rumours are circulating that Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh has been penned to write original songs for it.
Wes Anderson films and music have always been intrinsically linked. From Seu Jorge’s gorgeous, Portuguese interpretations of Bowie classics featured in The Life Aquatic to The Beach Boys cover of ‘Ol Man River’ from Fantastic Mr. Fox. Anderson is truly a master of curating a memorable soundtrack.

Mothersbaugh and Anderson have frequently collaborated on a variety of Anderson’s film projects. Mothersbaugh has contributed to the scores of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
Very little is known about Wes Anderson’s forthcoming 10th feature film. It has been reported that Anderson has been location scouting in Angoulême, France, to begin filming early 2019.
Wes Anderson’s last feature film was the 2018 stop-motion animation Isle of Dogs.
