The celebrated filmmaker who wrote the story with Roman Coppola, envisions 'Asteroid City' as a meeting ground for students and parents across the country, drawn together for a Junior Stargazer convention. This confluence of scholarly competition, rest, recreation, comedy, drama, romance, and more, is set to be a dazzling spectacle.

Peter Kujawski, the chairman of Focus Features, said, "We are beyond thrilled to be the global home for 'Asteroid City', bringing Focus back in business with Wes and his producing partners."
