On this bumper episode for Wes Anderson's new film, our interviewers Lucy Fenwick Elliott, Lara Peters and Elena Lazic speak to the cast of The Phoenician Scheme: Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Mia Threapleton and Richard Ayoade.
The inimitable Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a story of a family – and a family business.
Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro) is a roguish millionaire businessman, survivor of six plane crashes and father of nine sons, and – crucially – one daughter, a nun called Liesel (Mia Threapleton).
The two reunite when Liesel is, against all odds, named sole heir to his estate. But as Korda embarks on a new, ambitious enterprise, they quickly become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins.

Lara Peters speaks to director Christopher McQuarrie about the latest (and final?) installment in the Mission: Impossible series, starring Tom Cruise.
Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which sees the agent and his team embark on perhaps their most dangerous mission yet.
Following Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’s soaring finale, the IMF remain on the trail of the malevolent artificial intelligence known as ‘The Entity’, housed inside a sunken next-generation Russian submarine. Their only hope lies in trusting Hunt, one final time, to destroy it for good.
