Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom Soundtrack
Moonrise Kingdom Soundtrack
Like so many others that I know, I’m super excited for the release of Moonrise Kingdom. It is due for release on May 25th in major cities, and a bit later for most. As I have serious girl crushes on both Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand, this is a dream come true. The movie will also feature Edward Norton, Bruce Willis and of course, Bill Murray & Jason Schwartzman.
