Cannes 2012: Moonrise Kingdom cast 'like a family' Big names such as Bill Murray, who has been in every single Anderson film, and Jason Schwartzman, who starred in Anderson's Rushmore, star alongside Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Tilda Swinton. Murray, who appeared at the press conference wearing an eccentric outfit of a green and grey checked jacket and clashing checked shirt, joked: "I really don't get any other work than with Wes. I just sit by the phone. He went on: "The making of these films has just becomes more of a fun adventure all the time. I'm just so happy at how Wes just gets better. The film, which tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love before making a secret pact and running away together, also welcomes newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the lovelorn couple. Willis, who plays local sheriff Captain Sharp, said it was wonderful to be directed by Anderson and said the film's message was universal. He said: "It's about love. It's about new love, and young love, and love that is mixed up and messed up. It's all still the same story about how everybody needs to be loved. He added with a smile: "Even the cops." Set in New England in 1965, the film stars Norton as a Khaki Scout troop leader, Scout Master Ward, with Murray and Frances McDormand providing support as the young girl's parents. Swinton, who was also in Cannes last year to support her critically-acclaimed role in We Need to Talk About Kevin, said she was "so happy" to be part of the cast and part of the "family" Anderson has spent years creating in her role as the social worker. Texas-born Anderson, who is well-known for hits such as The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Fantastic Mr Fox, was won over by newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward during an "extensive casting process" and chose them to play the youngsters, Sam and Suzy.
