See Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and a galaxy of stars in trailer for Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City'

Wes Anderson has always managed to score impressive casts for his films, but the "Moonrise Kingdom" director may have outdone himself for his latest movie, "Asteroid City."

Tom Hanks stars as an ornery, pistol-packing grandfather in the movie, which just debuted its trailer.

The film, set in the 1950s, also stars Scarlett Johansson as a screen siren, as well as Steve Carell, Rita Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Jeffrey Wright and Liev Schreiber, just to name a few.

According to the synopsis of the upcoming film, "The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events."

All of the characters in the trailer machine gun their dialogue in Anderson's signature droll fashion, as they come to grips with what seems to be alien life landing where a famous meteor once did, in Arizona.
