An exhibition and dining experience celebrating the creative world of Wes Anderson is coming to London with an immersive 180 experience that promises to transport attendees into the realm of the director’s new film, Asteroid City.
Curated and presented by 180 Studios and Universal Pictures, the exhibition features original sets, props, costumes and artwork that capture Anderson’s signature style, visuals and sounds, as well as provide an opportunity to dine out at the movie’s iconic 1950s diner, which will be recreated onsite.
Asteroid City takes place in a fictional American desert town circa 1955. The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention – organised to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition – is disrupted by world-changing events.
Written and directed by Wes Anderson, Asteroid City boasts a huge cast of A-listers including Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Stephen Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan and Jeff Goldblum.
The exhibition runs from June 17th to July 7th. Tickets are available now.
Asteroid City lands in UK cinemas on July 23rd.
