A new teaser for the upcoming film dropped on May 30.

While Wes Anderson has been extremely popular among fans, mainly due to his impressive repertoire of directing films like Darjeeling Limited, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Rushmore, recently the director's style has become a trend across social media styles, thanks to the intervention of Artificial Intelligence, something that is rapidly growing in today's world.

Over the past few months, a Wes Anderson trend has taken over the internet, where various people have asked for different scenarios to be framed in Anderson's signature symmetrical, pastel style.
