of Milei’s former dog, Conan, who died in 2017.
They nearly did come together on a movie before “The Phoenician Scheme.” Anderson had a small role for Cera inbut when its production schedule got pushed, Cera had to drop out because of the coming due date for his first son with his wife Nadine.
“I was kind of worried that I blew it,” says Cera, “that I missed the chance to sneak in.”But even though Anderson and Cera didn’t work together until “The Phoenician Scheme,” they developed a relationship. Cera, who aspires to write and direct his own films, would send Anderson scripts for feedback. “We became friends,” says Cera.“In the case of this movie, it was everything short of written for him,” Anderson says. “As soon as we had the idea of the character, he was the guy who (cowriter Roman Coppola) and I started talking about. I think we talked to him about it before there was a script or anything.”
“It seemed like it had already happened,” adds Anderson. “And it was a very good fit, a natural thing.”Cera quickly adapted to Anderson’s unique style of moviemaking, in which the cast collectively stay at a hotel, begin the morning in makeup together and remain on set without trailers to retreat to. “At first, you’re kind of exhausted,” says Cera. “At the end of the first day, you go: OK, I need to eat a bigger breakfast.” As the production went along, Cera often sat right next to Anderson to watch him work.
One very notable characteristic of Bjørn is a Norwegian accent. If there’s anything more fitting than Michael Cera being a Wes Anderson movie, it might be Michael Cera doing a Norwegian accent in a Wes Anderson movie. It’s also a bit that, in “The Phoenician Scheme,” has a touch of spoiler to it. Cera calls it “sort of a jaunty, playful representation of an accent, not purporting to be a home run.”
“When I brought up the accent to Wes, I said, ‘How should we go about this accent?’” Cera say. “He was kind of caught of guard. I think he hears the movie in his head and maybe hadn’t figured that in. It was something Wes had to compute.”“APT31 has also stolen trade secrets and intellectual property, and targeted entities in some of America’s most vital critical infrastructure sectors, including the Defense Industrial Base, information technology, and energy sectors,” the embassy said.
NATO and the European Union also condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the Czechs.“We observe with increasing concern the growing pattern of malicious cyber activities stemming from the People’s Republic of China,” NATO said.
“This attack is an unacceptable breach of international norms,” Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, said. “The EU will not tolerate hostile cyber actions.”, the email account of then Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek and the accounts of dozens of ministry officials were successfully hacked. Officials said the attack was sophisticated, and experts believed it was done by a foreign state, which was not named then.
