Titled Isle Of Dogs, the film will be a stop-motion animated project in the style of his perennial favourite Fantastic Mr Fox, that's set to star Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Yoko Ono – and, potentially, even you.
Anderson announced he's auctioning off a spot in the film, as part of a fundraising drive in support of Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation, an organisation dedicated to film preservation and restoration.

"The top [prize] is an invitation to come visit us on our set, and even an opportunity to do a voice of probably another dog in the movie," the director said.
"Barking, howling or whimpering may be required," the project's official page adds, revealing the other prizes – "puppet miniatures of a dog from the film", "signed Criterion Collection DVDs" – that a $10 donation could score you.

Alongside Yoko and co, the film is set to feature a long list of names from the regular Anderson stable, including Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham and Greta Gerwig, the director revealed in the video.
Norton, who made a cameo in the clip teasing his own character, a dog – "one of the lead dogs," he adds - named Rex, will also star.
The film, due for release in 2018, marks Anderson's first feature-length since 2014's Oscar-nominated The Grand Budapest Hotel.
