Quirky world of Wes Anderson set for Design Museum retrospective

Mia Threapleton, Kate Winslet's daughter and a newcomer to Wes Anderson's world, will premiere The Phoenician Scheme at Cannes later this month.
Anderson cast Threapleton as Sister Liesl after viewing hundreds of audition tapes to fill the role of a headstrong woman involved in a decades-old land-expansion project.
The film features Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Michael Cera, Benicio del Toro, and others who join Sister Liesl on a dangerous, whimsical mission tied to the family's risky business plan.
Threapleton recalled bursting into tears and hiding in a bike locker on a train upon her casting, while Anderson called her performance “completely authentic.”
The premiere will expand Threapleton’s audience, and a Wes Anderson retrospective featuring over 600 models and props will open at London’s Design Museum in November.
