Wes Anderson at Cannes with Rhode Island-shot ‘Moonlight Kingdom’
“Moonrise Kingdom,’’ which director Wes Anderson filmed last year in Rhode Island, was screened Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The movie, set in 1965 on the island of New Penzance, somewhere off the coast of Rhode Island, is about two young lovers whose sudden departure leads to an oddball search party. The film, starring Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, and Edward Norton, was shot in various scenic and secluded locales around the Ocean State, including Fort Wetherill State Park, Lincoln Woods State Park, and Prudence Island.
