Anyone looking forward to this? I'm liking the retro-futurism aesthetic. I've had mixed impressions of pass Wes Anderson movies, but its possible I just don't "get it". Maybe the aesthetic is the point.

I am, but I also want to find out if the three black-and-white people in the group shot of the movie poster is significant, like an Easter egg, callback or reference forward, or just a production error. Or did they run out of modern actors and had to dip back into the '50s to hire some monotone help.

It is significant and you will understand when you see the movie.

Since it's a Wes Anderson movie we can assume it's intentional. Saw what you will about his style, but Wes Anderson movies are always visually-rich and his attention to detail is nigh unmatched by other contemporary filmmakers
