Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.
After viewing the trailer, Film Office Executive Director Steven Feinberg said, "The movie, and Rhode Island as a location, look amazing! The brief glimpse we get whets our appetite for MOONRISE KINGDOM's theatrical release. This is pure Wes Anderson at his very best. Check it out!"
