MUMBAI: PVR Pictures will release Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom in India. The date of release will be announced shortly.

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, the film tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore - and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.

Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Scout troop leader, Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl’s parents while Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward play the boy and girl respectively.

Penned by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, Moonrise Kingdom stars Ed Norton, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Jason Schwartzman.

The film opened the ongoing Cannes Film Festival.
