Edward Norton steals the spotlight in today's exclusive Moonrise Kingdom featurette, and it teases all the quirky goodness only a Wes Anderson film can bring. Norton stars as Scout Master Ward, who leads Troop 55's adventurous search for runaway scout Sam Shakusky. Check out Bob Balaban's deadpan narration of the troop's day-to-day activities at Camp Ivanhoe, and keep an eye out for Ed as he films during a latrine inspection, a hurricane, and a stunt where – as Bob points out – he jumps like a rabbit.
Moonrise Kingdom centers on a pair of young lovers (Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward) who run away together and send their parents and the small town's authorities into a frenzied search. The film will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and hit theaters May 25.
You can also watch the other Moonrise featurettes that debuted during the week:

That was amazing. Rushmore is one of my favorite movies and I love Edward Norton. He's always so interesting to watch onscreen. I'm really, really looking forward to Moonrise Kingdom!
