It seems odd that Bill Murray wasn’t in the new Wes Anderson movie, right? He’s always been in Wes Anderson’s movies, all the way back to Rushmore in 1998. What’s the deal? Is Tom Hanks the new Bill Murray?
It turns out Bill “Fkn” Murray was supposed to be in the film but caught the COVID and had to skip out. So Steve Carell replaced him last minute.
After filming, Bill Murray was hanging around the set, recovered and “giving pep talks”, so they decided to shoot a little promo with him and Jason Schwartzman. In the promo, we get to meet Bill Murray as Jock Larkings, the head of the fictitious Larkings Corporation, awkwardly promoting the film.
If you have the right subscription, you can see the promo on Apple News+ or The New Yorker. I assume it’ll show up on YouTube any day now. 🤷🏻♂️
What’s this movie about, anyways? According to the video…
It’s about love, death, hope, war, peace, art, science, deep sadness, the unknown, and America. That’s the subject matter. Also infinity, and I don’t know what else.
I feel like they’re kind of stepping on my subject matter here. 🤔
