Wes Anderson is set to premiere his newest flick, The French Dispatch, in the middle of 2020. While all of his films are known to have a stellar cast, this one is certainly no different. With some familiar faces from The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom, there are also some famous actors that haven't worked with this iconic director.
While movie lovers wait in anticipation for this film, there are tons of incredible movies to watch with this star-studded cast. This list is here to direct your binging before this flick hits the big screen. Here are the main actors from this film, and one of their movies that you should definitely watch, ranked according to IMDb.
Saoirse Ronan: Lady Bird (2017) - 7.4
Saoirse Ronan is one of the most popular and successful young actresses in Hollywood. With 3 Oscar nominations, once of them is for this comedy-drama that follows Lady Bird, a 17-year-old woman who is coming of age in California.
This film is pure, hilarious, and absolutely memorable. Ronan has many films to choose from, but this Oscar-nominated film is one of her best. Of course, Ronan is also joining Anderson once again, after already starring in The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Tilda Swinton: We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) - 7.5
Tilda Swinton is an incredibly popular actress, and she's already worked with Wes Anderson in Isle of Dogs, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Moonrise Kingdom.
This drama is a much darker film than those of Wes Anderson. Swinton plays the mother of an incredibly difficult child. Eventually, he grows up to become her worst nightmare. This thriller is difficult to watch, but it's definitely Swinton at her finest.
Benicio Del Toro: Sicario (2015) - 7.6
Benicio Del Toro is an Oscar-winning actor, but this crime drama is certainly one of movie fans' favorites. Starring alongside Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin, this dark action film follows an FBI agent (Blunt) who joins a government task force to aid in the drug war between U.S. and Mexico, but there is definitely foul play afoot.
Benicio Del Toro is breathtaking in this film, and viewers should certainly give it a watch. He'll be playing Moses Rosenthaler in Anderson's new flick, and he's a new cast member to his roster.
Elisabeth Moss: The Invisible Man (2020) - 7.7
This movie just premiered in 2020 and is a mystery thriller. Fans probably know Moss best from her television role in The Handmaid's Tale, but this new flick did pretty well with the critics. Cecilia's husband committed suicide, but she's convinced it was a hoax.
This dark film is Moss at her best, and fans are excited to see this talented and versatile actress finally pair up with Wes Anderson and be apart of this upcoming film.
Léa Seydoux: Blue Is The Warmest Colour (2013) - 7.7
This romance drama is an extremely popular French film. Seydoux plays Adèle, a young woman who meets another young woman, Emma. This film tells a story of growth, love, and an incredibly raw internal journey.
Seydoux will be playing Simone in Anderson's new flick, but she also had a small role as Clotilde is his iconic film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. In preparation for her upcoming role, Blue Is The Warmest Colour is one that fans shouldn't miss.
Edward Norton: Birdman (2014) - 7.7
This Oscar-winning film has a star-studded cast, including Michael Keaton and Zach Galifianakis. This film tells the story of a washed-up superhero actor tries to revive his career by creating a Broadway production. This comedy-drama is totally pure and mesmerizing, and Norton even received a nomination for his role.
Norton is quite the acclaimed actor, and he has many incredible and classic films to binge. Plus, he's already worked with Wes Anderson in Isle of Dogs, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Moonrise Kingdom.
Adrien Brody: Detachment (2011) - 7.7
Adrien Brody is probably known as the villainous family member in Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. However, he's jumping back in with Anderson for his upcoming flick.
Brody has an impressive film roster, but he has a starring role in this drama, where he plays a substitute teacher who tries to connect with the teachers who all appear to have dark and dismal lives. This film is certainly worth a watch and is Brody at his best.
Willem Dafoe: The Lighthouse (2019) - 7.7
Willem Dafoe is a Hollywood legend. While he has tons of roles to choose from, this is one of his newest and was also nominated for 1 Oscar in 2020. He plays Thomas Wake, a veteran lighthouse keeper who finds himself trapped on an island in the 1890s with a young and bold partner (Robert Pattinson).
For fans of obscure and artistic films, this one is for you. Of course, Willem Dafoe already stole Anderson's (and fans') hearts as the private detective in The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Timothée Chalamet: Call Me By Your Name (2017) - 7.9
This up and coming actor has taken Hollywood by storm in the past few years. While he has actually starred alongside co-star Saoirse Ronan multiple times, Chalamet gained his first Academy Award nomination for this role.
In 1980s Italy, a 17-year-old boy struggles with youth, sexuality, and adventure in this incredibly raw and mesmerizing drama romance. Chalamet is finally teaming up with Anderson for his newest flick, and fans are more than excited to see what he brings to the back screen alongside this cast and crew.
Christoph Waltz: Django Unchained (2012) - 8.4
Christoph Waltz is a two-time Oscar-winning actor, and he has many incredible fans. However, one role that will always be remembered is his part in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. He plays a bounty hunter who hires a freed slave (Jamie Foxx) to help him slay plantation owners.
He will be joining this upcoming flick as Boris Schommers, and he's also a newcomer to Wes Anderon's artistry. However, fans are excited for him to join this anticipated film.
