Updated: Production Weekly says the film is called, "Moonrise Kingdom." This is the same title that was dropped in /Film's comments section yesterday. We're hoping they didn't grab the information from there. Our emails and calls to Anderson's American Empirical productions have not been returned.
Production Weekly has been hitting Twitter in a big way over the past 24 hours, and now they've dropped their biggest piece of news yet: Wes Anderson plans to shoot his next film in the spring of 2011.
We did some digging and while we don't have too many details yet, from what we've heard, the director is seeking a boy and a girl, aged 12 years old for the lead roles. So could Anderson be continuing in the vein of younger fare after the excellent "Fantastic Mr. Fox"? Could be. At any rate, he's already said he doesn't plan to direct "The Rosenthal Suite," his rewrite of the French comedy hit "My Best Friend" that he was linked to late last year. And we don't think it's the long-gestating script he and Noah Baumbach have been kicking around that doesn't quite seem finished anyway.
At any rate, it's a new Wes Anderson film to look forward to. We're excited and eager to see what the director has in store. Story was originally published 2:40 PM ET on September 29, 2010.

Paging Chloe Moretz, since she seems to be the only young actress getting cast in movies these days.
How long does he normally take between shooting the film and the film actually being released? Just wondering when we should look forward to this coming out... late 2011? Or 2012?
Let the haters hate...count me down as excited!
Ken, do you really need to update IMDB that badly?
He's a noted Charlie Brown fan, so why not?
yes, yes i do. people's lives depend on this update.
also how many 12 year old boys/girls does wes anderson need? i have those by the dozen. don't ask how or why
Random guess for the two leads: Elle Fanning and Max Records.
^ jesus christ. calm down.
The Playlist interested in another Wes Anderson film? I thought he was the equivalent of Weezer; repitious, tired, and stale.
Said like a true butthurt Wes Anderson devotee. These guys report on Michael Bay and Tony Scott too, but that doesn't mean they like them. Did you read their Rothenthaler report? Clearly they're wiling to give the guy a shot (and that one isn't much different from what he's already done; face facts).
Yeah. But you read all the chip shots they make at the guy in other articles about unrelated news. It just comes across that they think he's a wash up.
Fantastic Mr. Fox was finally back to the quality of his first three films.
I was the one who dropped the title yesterday. For a small hint about the film's subject, read this interview:
