Check out the official trailer and cast list for Wes Anderson's upcoming "Isle of Dogs" movie.
Fox Searchlight films recently rated Wes Anderson's new movie "Isle of Dogs" and it may be a bit more adult than his precious animations. The film will be PG-13. The premise of the stop-motion animation is a 12-year-old boy takes off in a plane in search of his dog after a corrupt mayor quarantines all dogs on far away Trash Island. The setting is in the fake Japanese city of Megasaki in a dystopian future.
The movie follows the young boy, named Atari Kobayashi, on his journey to find his dog.
This journey, and the friends who help him, may shape not only his future, but all those he left behind, and all those around him.
There's a star-studded cast to provide the character voices including: Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Yoko Ono, Jeff Goldblum, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, F. Murray Abraham, Kunichi Nomura, Harvey Keitel, Akira Ito, Akira Takayama, Koyu Rankin, Courtney B. Vance, Greta Gerwig, Frances McDormand, Liv Schreiber, and Bob Balaban.

Is it just a coincidence that "Isle of Dogs," said out loud, sounds just like "I love dogs"?
