Bill Murray Gives Nickel Tour Of Wes Anderson’s ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ Set: Video

Bill Murray somehow fits perfectly — like an old slipper — on the set of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, the Focus Features drama that just opened the Cannes Film Festival and comes out in the U.S. on Friday. He and Anderson are old pals, with the actor having worked on every Anderson-directed film except his first oneĀ Bottle Rocket (“I still haven’t seen that one,” Murray deadpans during his video tour of the production). While it’s not the elaborate video diary of Peter Jackson on The Hobbit set, it strikes the right tone for the latest Anderson effort, which received a standing ovation at the Palais during its Cannes premiere that brought Murray to tears.

  • 1. Great job! (Murray’s the balls.)
    2. Maybe the marketing team could start some sort of: “Bill Murray showed up at a random screening, drank a few with the cast, then slipped out while no one was noticing” campaign.

    (Even if they don’t, this’ll be seen.)

    WA makes flicks people watch.

    Hopefully this is his “tipping point.”

  • “No amount of money can make that right, can it.” – Loved that line.
