Starring Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks, Asteroid City revolves around a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention that is “spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events”.

Previously, 180 Studios was also the site of exhibitions for Anderson’s The French Dispatch and Isle of Dogs.
