The “Phoenician Scheme” is often referred to as “the tale of a wealthy family and their business.” In this narrative, Benicio del Toro portrays Zsa-zsa Korda, one of Europe’s wealthiest individuals; Mia Threapleton plays the role of Sister Liesl, his daughter who has taken religious vows; and Michael Cera takes on the character of Bjorn Lund, their tutor.

Additionally, there are stars like Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, and Benedict Cumberbatch on the list.

Anderson penned the script, from a story he wrote with Roman Coppola.

The movie originates from Indian Paintbrush, marking their third collaboration with Anderson, a partnership that has also brought us “Asteroid City” (2023) and “Moonrise Kingdom” (2012). Anderson oversaw production through his American Empirical Pictures label. Alongside him, Steven Rales from Indian Paintbrush, as well as Jeremy Dawson and John Peet, also served as producers for this film.

Anderson frequently engages in repeated collaborations with his team members, be it cast or crew, which was also evident during his production in Germany.
