"Somebody is up to something…" Fox Searchlight has revealed the first official trailer for Wes Anderson's latest film, a stop-motion adventure titled Isle of Dogs. Set in Japan, the story follows a boy's odyssey in search of his dog. That's about all we know, since this is our first official glimpse at footage from the film (aside from the very brief announcement last year). Isle of Dogs features the voice of Edward Norton as Rex, along with a huge ensemble voice cast: Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, Tilda Swinton, Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Kara Hayward, Fisher Stevens, F. Murray Abraham, Courtney B. Vance, Bob Balaban, and Yoko Ono. I completely adore Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I'm crazy excited to see Anderson make another stop-motion movie about dogs next (since I also love dogs). I have a feeling I'm going to adore this.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, direct from FSL's YouTube:

I love stop motion and Wes Anderson. Wish he'd revisit Royal Tenebaums.

It will be very interesting to see how they dance around this being set in Japan with a bunch of English speakers and Japanese speakers in the mix. I'm sure Wes will handle it with style and skill.

Humans and dogs can't communicate to begin with. Having the dogs speak english and the humans speak japanese seems like a clever way to let the dogs speak amongst themselves without being able to verbally communicate with the humans.

The fight "dust up" was an ingenious use of cotton balls.
