Asteroid City script
Andersen wrote the script for Asteroid City based on a story by himself and Roman Coppola. Andersen also produced the sci-fi romantic comedy with Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning visual artist and producer Jeremy Dawson and Steven Rawls.
Andersen’s collaboration again with his beloved cinematographer and composer
In addition to acting, filming and music form two important parts of Andersen’s projects. The fact that Yeoman has worked with Andersen on every live-action film says a lot about the artistry and visual style that makes each of these films exceptional and iconic.
Summary
Johansen likened the experience of being part of Andersen’s filmmaking process to getting ready to act in a play: “You are placed in this fictional world. The entire environment is built and is a physical, tangible and usable space. It was a very satisfying and fulfilling experience.” Anyway, you can take the time to watch this movie and enjoy it.
