The stars of the film – Benicio del Toro, Bryan Cranston, Michael Cera, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and Mia Threapleton – made their way down the red carpet at Jazz at Lincoln Center for a 7 p.m. screening. The event was packed with people from the director’s extensive network of friends and collaborators.

For Threapleton, the night held an extraordinary charm as it marked his debut as the leading actor in a significant movie production, being his first time in such a prominent role at the age of 24.

As a passionate film buff, I can’t help but reminisce about the palpable anxiety I experienced before my initial encounter with Mr. Anderson during an audition. But once he swung open the door and greeted me warmly with a handshake followed by a comforting hug, all those jitters vanished. To my surprise, he was casually dressed in hotel slippers and pink socks, which made me think, “Wow, you’re not some terrifying monster, no dragon here, and definitely not going to devour me!” It turned out to be a refreshingly unexpected encounter that put me at ease.

Despite allegations of nepotism surrounding her due to being Kate Winslet’s daughter, Threapleton demonstrates her independent acting prowess in the role of del Toro’s porcelain-faced character (and novitiate nun) across this globetrotting saga. She holds her ground admirably alongside seasoned actors who have collaborated extensively with Anderson on previous productions.

In Wes Anderson’s storytelling, there’s a pattern of unpredictability – you simply can’t guess where it’s headed. Bryan Cranston, who has worked with him in “Isle of the Dogs” and “Asteroid City,” expressed this to EbMaster on the red carpet. Anderson is so distinctive, so much an artist in his own right, that all you can do is trust him, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

In this scenario, the action-packed 90-minute journey features del Toro playing billionaire Zsa-zsa Korda, one of Europe‘s wealthiest men. Threapleton takes on the role of his daughter, Sister Liesel, while Cera appears in Anderson’s film for the first time as her tutor, Bjorn Lund.

Following the event, attendees ventured through the rain to crowd into shuttle buses for an extravagant post-party at the renowned Metropolitan Club in the Upper East Side. Under the sparkling glow of crystal chandeliers and high vaulted ceilings, celebrities like Jon Hamm, Ari Aster, Steve Buscemi, and Sean Baker engaged in lively conversations while sipping on unique Zsa-Zsa cocktails long into the night.

It’s not surprising that the esteemed filmmaker attracted such a large audience, even on a school night. As Threapleton puts it, “He has a knack for leading with love.” People feel incredibly at ease around him, and they continue to return because they adore him, and he cherishes them in return.
