How ‘Asteroid City’ Production Designer Creates the Worlds of Wes Anderson | Vanity Fair

Published

June 16, 2023

Production designer Adam Stockhausen shows us how he brings sets to life for Wes Anderson’s iconic films like ‘The Budapest Hotel,’ ‘The French Dispatch’ and ‘Asteroid City.’ How do you get the retro look and feel of the Luncheonette scene? How do you portray depth and richness in each shot? How can you make sets “float” for the insides to be seen and be as light as possible? From ample research to gather all the intricate details to physically bringing the sets to life, Adam takes us through his genius process of production design.

Asteroid City premieres June 16th

It seems increasingly that Anderson’s films are just well designed/produced sets and very little else. Walked out of The French Dispatch. No story, emotional depth, stiff acting. Zero interest.

It’s funny how even the sketches are symmetrical.

It’s all beautiful and there is a level of control & thought that very much reminds me of how Kubrick worked. My gut feeling is Asteroid City is going to clean up at the Oscars.
