Wes Anderson’s next film, the comedy drama The French Dispatch, is finally set for a premiere following multiple delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will debut at the Cannes Film Festival during its run from July 6th through the 17th, as Variety reports.

The French Dispatch follows the goings-on of a foreign press bureau at a Kansas newspaper. Benecio del Toro, Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, and Timothée Chalamet all appear in the film. It was originally set to arrive last summer, but was pushed back to October before a further delay into 2021. The French Dispatch is Anderson’s 10th feature, following 2018’s Isle of Dogs.
