Writer, director, and producer Wes Anderson

In September 2020, it was revealed Wes Anderson would be writing and directing a romance film, which he would produce alongside Jeremy Dawson and Steven Rales for American Empirical Pictures and Indian Paintbrush.[2][3] By February 2021, Michael Cera and Jeff Goldblum entered negotiations to star in the film, which was now described as being about a "group of brainy teenagers."[4] In June 2021, Tilda Swinton was the first person to be officially cast,[5] with Bill Murray,[6] Adrien Brody,[7] and Tom Hanks joining in July.[8] In August, Margot Robbie,[9] Rupert Friend, Jason Schwartzman,[1] Scarlett Johansson,[10] Bryan Cranston, Hope Davis, Jeffrey Wright, and Liev Schreiber were announced as part of the ensemble.[11] Tony Revolori and Matt Dillon were confirmed as cast members in September;[12][13] Goldblum, Sophia Lillis, Steve Park, and Maya Hawke were confirmed in October;[14][15][16] and Fisher Stevens, Jake Ryan, and Ethan Josh Lee were confirmed in November.[17][18][19]

Filming was originally going to take place in Rome. Instead, principal photography took place in Spain between August and October 2021.[9][20] Several sets in Chinchón, Madrid, resembling a desert landscape and a mock train station, were used for the shoot.[21] In an interview, Stevens said the film would include "the wildest cast since The Bridge on the River Kwai" and that the cast and crew "were all bubbled together in a hotel, which was an old monastery."[22] At the BFI London Film Festival, the film's title was revealed to be Asteroid City.[23] In November 2021, it was announced Alexandre Desplat would compose the film's musical score in his sixth collaboration with Anderson.[24]
