This might be old news for you, but I just found out yesterday that Wes Anderson is coming out with a new film, Moonrise Kingdom! I do not claim to be Wes’ biggest fan or anything (I live in LA and do you know how many film friends I have? There is no way for me to compete with them), but I do enjoy his work. I thinks it’s because his work is more photographic/designed than most movies. You could freeze any frame from his films and it would look like a piece of art.
My first surprise when I watched the trailer was that there was no Futura to be found. If you don’t know, Wes Anderson is known for always using Futura for the titles in his films (usually in yellow). For Moonrise Kingdom, he uses a script font designed by none other than Jessica Hische! I love her work. I just can’t get over how amazing that would be to be so tallented at something that such important people in the art industry want your work. Needless to say, I’m a little jealous.
I can’t wait to see it. Here is the trailer.
