However, the story of the untitled film will take place in a fictional city. According to The Playlist , filming was anticipated to start in 2019 but will now begin in November and is expected to last for about four to five months. The budget of the project will be somewhere between €15-20 million, equivalent to approximately $17.5-23.5 million. As for the casting, the report says that Anderson will feature an Academy Award winner (within the past five years) in the lead, which can include actors he has already worked with: Cate Blanchett (in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) and Frances McDormand (in Moonrise Kingdom). Other actors who have a musical background or have previously showcased their musical abilities include Eddie Redmayne, Gary Oldman and Emma Stone.
