The first trailer for Wes Anderson’s new film, Asteroid City, is here. Check out the extremely Andersonian, bluegrass-soundtracked, sci-fi clip below.

An official synopsis of the film reads: “The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.” Roman Coppola co-wrote the movie with Anderson.
