“Asteroid City” is the latest addition to Anderson’s impressive list of works, which includes acclaimed movies like “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” and “The Royal Tennenbaums.” The film was co-written by Anderson and Roman Coppola, who has collaborated with the director on several films, including “The French Dispatch” and “Isle of Dogs.” Anderson produced the movie alongside his long-time partners Jeremy Dawson and Steven Rales of Indian Paintbrush. John Peet and Octavia Peissel served as co-producers, with Christoph Fisser and Henning Molfenter as executive producers.
