, who has been in the director’s last nine features. Murray was originally cast as a motel manager in the desert town where the movie is set, in 1955. “Normally, I don’t think it’s such a nice idea to tell everyone the person whoin Ireland, and it was four days before he was supposed to work.” Murray was in Ireland for a family trip , en route to Spain, where “Asteroid City” was shooting. With Murray in quarantine, Anderson scrambled to recast the part.
Nonetheless, Murray did make it into the fictional world of the movie—sort of. Here’s what happened: once Murray recovered, he went to Spain anyway. The problem was that he had no part to play. “I kept trying to think of something for him, but you can’t really just add a new character into the movie,” Anderson said. Murray hung out on location, giving pep talks.
Then, the day after the movie wrapped, Anderson and Murray concocted an idea: in a metatheatrical curlicue, Murray would play a character who was cut from the film. Anderson corralled Schwartzman, who plays a war photographer , and they shot a short scene in the style of a retro promotional trailer for a Hollywood film, in which a director or a studio executive would give a stilted pitch for an exciting new picture.
