Wes Anderson is currently in production of his next film, “The French Dispatch.” As we’ve covered, quite extensively, the film is going to have one of the best casts in the history of a Wes Anderson film, as the filmmaker brings back some of his old favorites and adds some Oscar nominees for good measure. But perhaps the biggest name yet was just added, and it would appear that the filmmaker has decided to add one more Oscar-winner just for good measure.

During an interview on a BBC morning radio show (confirmed by the French media), Saoirse Ronan, who is starring in “The French Dispatch,” was asked about working on the film, which is filled with incredible talent. And in describing the talent, she lets one previously unknown name drop.

“I haven’t started yet,” says Ronan. “I’m doing that in the new few weeks, actually. And everyone’s in it. Like I’m about to work with Kate Winslet, as well, and she’s going to be in it for a couple of days.”

Winslet is, of course, a seven-time Oscar nominee (winning one) and has starred in some of the biggest films of all time, as well as some incredible indie dramas. In addition to “The French Dispatch,” which marks her first Anderson film, the actress is also in the middle of production on the multiple ‘Avatar’ sequels with James Cameron, whom she famously teamed up with for “Titanic.”

While Ronan can’t really talk about the film, the actress is quick to shed some light on one unique part about working on a Wes Anderson film – the dinners.

“Wes has the nicest dinners,” she explains. “He’ll throw really lovely dinners at the end of every shoot day. And he’ll change for dinner. So, it’s quite a classy affair compared to every other shoot you work on where you just wear North Face all the time.”

Of course, Wes Anderson throws classy dinners at the end of each shoot day. Would you expect anything less?
