This captivating film is set in a fictional American desert town during the 1950s, and Maya Hawke plays the role of June Douglas, a character that truly resonates with her.
In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Maya shared her initial reaction upon reading the script, revealing, “I was really helped by Wes sending me an animatic, which is an animated telling of the entire film. And in reading the script, I personally am not the best reader, but I got a little lost within it all on the page, even though it’s such a beautifully written document in and of itself.”

Her passion for the project was evident as she expressed how watching the film brought everything to life, adding, “But getting to watch it play out, all of a sudden, it all clicked into place. I really started to understand the levels that were operating. Then the more we worked on it, and now the more I’ve watched the film, the deeper and deeper it gets every time.”
On set, Maya experienced extraordinary camaraderie, with Wes Anderson’s veteran crew fostering an environment where “no phones, no trailers, people have real conversations.”
As she reminisced about her experience, Maya shared, “There’s very little hierarchy. The snacks aren’t even that great. So it’s really how you talk to each other.”
