“Steven had me do this early design phase where we locked in a lot of locations and we did the basic bones…and a proof of concept early,” said the Oscar-winning Stockhausen (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”). “And then I went away to do ‘French Dispatch,’ and every Sunday I would go into my office, crank up the Broadway cast album from ‘West Side Story,’ and get to work with my location scout and scenic illustrator and we would work away....
