During a Cannes Film Festival press conference, Wes Anderson mocked President Donald Trump's proposed tariff on movies produced outside of America.

Wes Anderson largely kept tightlipped other than his next feature project does “have a darkness”. He’s collaborating with Roman Coppola again, who the filmmaker always co-writes with, as well as The Phoenician Scheme star Richard Ayoade on the next title.

Anderson’s leading lady Mia Threapleton — who has acting in her blood thanks to mother Kate Winslet — was overcome with emotion as the applause raged on, smiling as tears poured down her face. Anderson beamed beside her.

Wes Anderson recalled Gene Hackman being 'furious' at his salary for 'The Royal Tenenbaums' ahead of premiering 'The Phoenician Scheme' at Cannes
