A Film is made of many elements like story, emotions, actors, and importantly, perspective. Academy-winning director Wes Anderson and Oscar-acclaimed actor Benicio Del Toro are bringing us such a spectacular film, The Phoenician Scheme. The trailer is just out, so let’s go into detail and discuss the prospects of the upcoming comedy venture.
Schemes, Targets, and Attack
The trailer narrative starts with Zsa Zsa Korda, aka Benicio Del Toro, one of the most influential and wealthiest men of Europe, with a long history of surviving plane crashes, getting into his sixth one. Unable to believe anyone of his nine sons, he decides to make his nun daughter, Sister Liesl, the sole inheritor. The stakes are pretty high with other billionaire tycoons targeting Korda’s enterprise as they embark on the once-in-a-lifetime infrastructure, “Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme.”
Now he has to save his life with the help of a handful of people without any disruptions to the project. To mention, the trailer is a ride of hilarious scenes with interesting content and stellar casting. Presumably, it’s a film worth the wait.
