However, now the film is being described as “a love letter to journalists set at an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th-century Paris and centres on three storylines”. The director’s frequent collaborators Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton are part of the project. Brad Pitt, Lea Seydoux and Natalie Portman are also in negotiations to join the live-action film. The French Dispatch began shooting a week ago in Angoulême in southwestern France. Chalamet was last seen in The Beautiful Boy opposite Steve Carell. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
