Director Wes Anderson officially announced the details of his next feature-length film in a video Wednesday morning. "It's called Isle of Dogs," Anderson revealed. "It's an animated movie. We're shooting it in England." Anderson additionally named some of the actors who will have voice roles in the film, including Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, Greta Gerwig, Yoko Ono, and Edward Norton.

Isle of Dogs marks Anderson's first return to stop-motion animation since 2009's Fantastic Mr. Fox, and his first feature-length film since 2014's The Grand Budapest Hotel.
