The French Dispatch will mark Desplat and Anderson’s fifth collaboration as they previously worked together on 2010’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2012’s Moonrise Kingdom, 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel and 2018’s Isle of Dogs with the The Grand Budapest Hotel giving Desplat his first Oscar win for Best Original Score.
The French Dispatch is written and directed by Anderson from a story by Anderson, Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, and Hugo Guinness.
Grammy and Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat has confirmed that he has already seen a “finished version” of Wes Anderson’s forthcoming comedy romance drama The French Dispatch which he immediately praised Anderson for.
Speaking with IndieWire, the French composer teases the star-studded film’s epic scope by revealing that it might be “even bigger than critically-acclaimed The Grand Budapest Hotel.”
