The film was shot partly in Germany, leading to the question being raised. When asked about the tariffs, Wes initially replied, “I thought you said he was giving us a plug or something. Did Trump see it?” But then, he mocked the idea and said, “The tariff is interesting because I’ve never heard of a 100% tariff before. I’m not an expert in that area of economics, but I feel that means he’s saying he’s going to take all the money. And then what do we what do we get? So it’s complicated to me. Can you hold up the movie in customs? It doesn’t ship that way.”For the unversed, earlier this month, Trump claimed that Hollywood is “dying a very fast death” and announced in a post on Truth Social that he had authorised the Department of Commerce and the US Trade Representative (USTR) to slap a 100% tariff on “any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.” Wes Anderson’s upcoming filmThe Phoenician Scheme is an espionage black comedy written and directed by Wes, based on Roman Coppola's idea. Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, and Hope Davis star in it.
