Whether appearing as decadent King Louis XVI in his cousin Sophia Coppolla’s latest movie will boost his career is hard to tell. He is, however, in talks to appear in the Wes Anderson-directed feature-length take on Roald Dahl’s The Fantastic Mr Fox, due out sometime next year.
This would mark a welcome re-teaming of the actor and director following their successful partnership on Anderson’s breakout 1998 flick Rushmore. Whether other Anderson favourites Bill Murray and Owen Wilson will also appear is unclear, but The Life Aquatic and The Royal Tennenbaums co-star Angelica Houston is also in talks.
