The latest film by US director Wes Anderson,
The French Dispatch, will premiere at this year's Cannes film festival in the official competition, organisers said Friday.
The film's star-studded cast includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Timothee Chalamet, Adrien Brody, Benicio del Toro and Saoirse Ronan, as well as French actors Lea Seydoux and Mathieu Amalric.
The film – initially planned to screen at Cannes last year before the festival was cancelled because of COVID-19 – "will have its world preview premiere in the Cannes competition", the festival tweeted.
It follows events at the French foreign news bureau of a Kansas newspaper set in a fictitious 20th-century French city.
