Greta Gerwig

Wes Anderson is known for a lot of things: An idiosyncratic and detail-oriented style, masterful use of color, nice dress socks, keeping Bill Murray employed… and killing (fictional) dogs. In 2012, following the release of Moonrise Kingdom, a New Yorker piece asked, “Does Wes Anderson Hate Dogs?” Perhaps it’s no coincidence that his latest effort, a stop-motion adventure set in Japan, is called Isle of Dogs. When you say it out loud, it sounds like “I love dogs”; the title itself refutes the notion that Anderson has it out for man’s best friend.

Following the success of Lady Bird, it’s easy to imagine that Greta Gerwig has received her fair share of offers to direct other projects, but like the title character in her solo directorial debut, Gerwig has her own plan in mind. That plan involves making three more films set in Sacramento — the city where Gerwig grew up, which serves as the inspiration and setting for Saoirse Ronan’s own coming of age in Lady Bird.
