The film is set on a small New England island during the 1960s and is centered on a pair of youngsters who fall madly in love and run off into the wilderness together.  With a massive storm on the horizon, though, the locals organize a search party to find the wayward adolescents before the maelstrom hits.  That's really all we need to know.

This clip, which debuted at Hitfix – specifically, Drew McWeeny's Motion/Captured blog – features Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman as the two young lovers.  The minute-long clip belong to Jason Schwartzman, though, as he barrels through some thoroughly enjoyable dialogue from behind aviators like he was born to wear a boyscout uniform with absolute authority.

Second up, there's this little bit of business from The A.V. Club.  Andersonian men are frequently childish and emotionally stunted, so if the fact that Edward Norton is a Sctoumaster didn't tip you off, this clip confirms that this theme will be very much present in Moonrise Kingdom.  Norton's character, along with Bruce Willis's police captain, gets verbally thrashed by Swinton as a Social Services representative.

Moonrise Kingdom is co-written by Anderson and Roman Coppola, who also served as second unit director on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and contributed to the script for The Darjeeling Limited, along with the director and Jason Schwartzman. 

The film looks like the most sprawling ensemble Anderson's undertaken since The Royal Tenenbaums, and those spoilsports who have never cottoned to the director's style might find that the 1960s setting helps contextualize the look and feel of Anderson's world.  Or they'll just continue objecting to all that deadpan delivery and detailed costuming.

Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward are at the center of the story, and the rest of the cast includes the likes of Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Jason Schwartzman, Frances McDormand,  and Bob Balaban, who I'm amazed is only just now showing up in a Wes Anderson movie.

The film is set to debut on opening night of next month's Cannes Film Festival, and it'll begin a limited domestic run shortly thereafter on May 25th.
