The Alamo Drafthouse chain will hold encore screenings of Wes Anderson’s animated “Isle of Dogs” on National Dog Day on Aug. 26, Variety has learned exclusively.
The screenings will be held at 25 locations and will be followed by a conversation recorded exclusively for this event between Anderson and co-star Bob Balaban. Additionally, 10% of all ticket sales for the event will be donated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
“What a combination: the Aspca, Alamo Drafthouse, and Mr. Bob Balaban,” said Anderson. “I leapt at the chance to be a part of this little shindig and share our movie during its last days on the big screen.”
“Isle of Dogs” has grossed nearly $32 million domestically for Fox Searchlight since its launch in March. It’s set in Japan and follows a boy’s odyssey in search of his dog. Besides Balaban, the voice cast includes F. Murray Abraham,...

Isle of Dogs is playing in limited theaters, but will be expanding nationwide this weekend. If you haven’t caught the flick yet, you’re in for a treat. While I wouldn’t put Isle of Dogs at the top of Wes Andersons filmography, the animation alone is worth the price of admission.
There were over 800-900 different characters in the film, with thousands of different faces needed for the puppets. That’s an impressive amount of work, and really makes you appreciate the craftsmanship and commitment needed to construct the puppets.
Check out the behind the scenes look at the construction of the puppets:

Wes Anderson movies… I mean films – are not for everyone. I’m never surprised when I hear someone say they don’t like the auteurs work. But there’s is no denying the fact that the auteur has a style that is his own. There are not two Wes Anderson’s in this universe. Wes Anderson makes Wes Anderson movies.
Personally, I’m a huge fan. I wish more directors could articulate their voice as clearly on screen as Anderson. Even if you disagree with his style, you have to admire his craftsmanship. Sure, his films are easy to poke-fun-at, but I’m glad they exists in this Blockbuster-heavy moment we currently find ourselves in.

This may be heresy to some, but up until now, I haven’t been that big of a Wes Anderson fan. The way that he sees the world warms many a heart, but often leaves me cold. Then, this happened. Merging stop motion animation with canines, he has a real winner. Come this weekend, Isle of Dogs gets released and, pardon the pun, unleashes Anderson’s best yet. Again, take that with a grain of salt, since he’s not my favorite, but never has his work been this charming. For children and adults alike, this is one of 2018’s very best offerings yet. The film is an animated adventure, as only Anderson could do. Set in a near future Japan, the flick follows a boy named Atari (voice of Koyu Rankin) as he goes in search of his lost dog Spots (voice of Liev Schreiber). The nephew of Mayor...

Film is typically shot at 24 frames a second. For the most realistic results, a stop motion puppet must be moved 24 times to create one second of film. The mastery and patience involved in creating believable stop motion films is unreal. More than that, it takes a unique vision and talented people around that vision to make that vision a reality. With the ever-growing rise of CG movies (which are also remarkable and painstaking), it’s nice that movies still get made the same way they were doing it 100 years ago.

The March 23rd release of Wes Anderson’s new stop-motion film Isle of Dogs is quickly approaching. The marketing via Fox Searchlight has been making the rounds and it is quite unique. This five-minute clip features various actors talking about their characters and the process of making the film animated as their on-screen counterparts. This is a beautiful and interesting way to promote a movie by adding depth to what can often feel like generic studio interviews.
Isle of Dogs is Wes Anderson’s followup to the 2014 hit The Grand Budapest Hotel. This marks the second time Anderson has dabbled in the stop-motion world, after 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. Like him or not, Anderson has delivered a unique feel and vision to his films since his 1996 debut Bottle Rocket.

You've got to watch this unique promo video for Wes Anderson's upcoming film Isle of Dogs. What I love about this is that it features interviews with several members of the cast, but as the dog characters that they play. Wes Anderson actually had the stop-motion animation created for these interviews and it turned out wonderfully entertaining and playful. I'm sure many of you will appreciate the thought, work, and effort that was put into making this great promo video.
The actors interviewed in the video include Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Liev Schriber, F. Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Bob Balaban, and Tilda Swinton.

This first clip released for director Wes Anderson's stop-motion animated film Isle of Dogs features two groups of dogs coming face to face for a showdown to fight over the contents a newly discovered bag. I'm a big fan of Anderson's work and his filmmaking style, and this next film of his looks pretty damn enjoyable.
Isle of Dogs tells the story of Atari Kobayashi, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by Executive Decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire prefecture.After Fantastic Mr. Fox, this new work marks Wes Anderson’s second animation film.

After taking his longest break between features yet, Wes Anderson is finally back this spring, following up his hit The Grand Budapest Hotel, which pulled in nearly $175 million at the box office. Returning to the world of stop-motion animation after Fantastic Mr. Fox, but this time going into PG-13 territory–for “thematic elements” (ah, those precarious, themes) and “violent images”–Isle of Dogs will premiere at Berlinale in under 10 days and be released about a month after that.
Featuring the voices of–take a breath–Bryan Cranston, Koyu Rankin, Edward Norton, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Kunicki Nomura, Akira Takayama, Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Akira Ito, Scarlett Johansson, Harvey Keitel, F.

Wes Anderson is back, and he’s bringing a whole lot of familiar faces (and newcomers) along with him. Starrring F. Murray Abraham, Bob Balaban, Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Akira Ito, Scarlett Johansson, Harvey Keitel, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, Mari Natsuki, Yojiro Noda, Kunichi Nomura, Edward Norton, Yoko Ono, Koyu Rankin, Liev Schreiber, Fisher Stevens, Tilda Swinton, Akira Takayama, Courtney B. Vance, and Frank Wood, the first trailer for Isle of Dogs has finally arrived.
The Japan-set tale, which marks his first return to animation since the fantastic Fantastic Mr. Fox, follows “a boy’s odyssey in search of his dog.” Inspired by the films of Akira Kurosawa, according to Anderson himself, the film is set to get a release in March of next year via Fox Searchlight. By the time this debuts, it’ll be the longest break between features for the director, and it’s good to have him back.

The Playlist is reporting that Isle of Dogs, Wes Anderson’s newly announced stop-motion animation, has found a home at Fox Searchlight.
A vague 2018 release date has been set, and the announcement heralds something of reunion between the filmmaker and Fox Searchlight following The Darjeeling Limited and 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. But Wes Anderson’s latest creative venture is more akin to the director’s work on Fantastic Mr. Fox, given its stop-motion nature, and though plot details are being kept firmly under lock and key, we now understand Isle of Dogs takes place in Japan and centers on a young boy’s search to find his missing canine.

A vague 2018 release date has been set, and the announcement heralds something of reunion between the filmmaker and Fox Searchlight following The Darjeeling Limited and 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. But Wes Anderson’s latest creative venture is more akin to the director’s work on Fantastic Mr. Fox, given its stop-motion nature, and though plot details are being kept firmly under lock and key, we now understand Isle of Dogs takes place in Japan and centers on a young boy’s search to find his missing canine.

Yesterday director Wes Anderson officially announced his stop-motion animated film project, Isle of Dogs. Today we learned that Fox Searchlight picked up the distribution rights to the film, and they offered us our first plot details for the film in a very brief synopsis that says the film is a Japan-set tale that follows “a boy’s odyssey in search of his dog.”
This means that the boy featured in the teaser poster will be the main character of the film, and I'm sure Anderson plans on taking him on a crazy adventure. If you look at the image in the poster, you can see he's been beaten up a bit. In a joint statement Fox Searchlight presidents, Nancy Utley and Steve Gilula, said:
“Wes Anderson is one of the most talented filmmakers of his, or any other, generation. His ability to write smart and unconventional screenplays and then translate...

On the heels of the announcement video that Wes Anderson and crew had begun production of his new animated film, Isle of Dogs, we’ve now learned when we’ll be able to see it. Following the hit that was The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fox Searchlight has returned to the Wes Anderson business as they’ve picked up the worldwide rights to the film, produced by Indian Paintbrush. As we predicted yesterday, it won’t see a release until 2018, due to the meticulous process of stop-motion animation.
We also have the first brief plot synopsis, which is that the Japan-set tale follows “a boy’s odyssey in search of his dog.” It can therefore be concluded that the first teaser poster (seen below) shows off our main character, who is among the voice cast, including F. Murray Abraham, Bob Balaban, Bud Cort, Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Akira Ito,...

Bringing an end to months of heated speculation, Wes Anderson has confirmed his new stop-motion animation to be Isle of Dogs, and the esteemed director is giving one lucky fan the chance to voice a minor character in the finished film.
But more on that later. Isle of Dogs stands as the director’s first foray behind the lens since 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, and the fact that Anderson’s new creative venture is stop-motion in nature has already drawn comparisons to the filmmaker’s work on Fantastic Mr. Fox. Plot details may be thin on the ground, but you’ll be able to get a fleeting glimpse of what we assume to be one of the leading canines via the video above, where Wes Anderson outlines Isle of Dogs with regular cohort Edward Norton.
Speaking of which, the ensemble cast that Anderson has assembled here is something to marvel,...
