Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston, who play brothers onscreen in Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme,' had playful exchanges with red carpet photographers at the New York premiere on Wednesday, May 28.

Hanks, 68, jokingly yelled at a cameraman, "Shut the f--- up!" amidst a faux kerfuffle, as reported by Page Six. Cranston, 69, joined in on the fun, exclaiming, "My tie is askew! Thanks for letting me know my tie was askew."

The Breaking Bad Emmy winner then quipped, "I'm going to come out with a line of ties called Askew!"

Red Carpet Antics

The Phoenician Scheme stars Benicio del Toro as fictional industrialist Zsa-zsa Korda, who embarks on a new enterprise with his daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) and tutor Bjørn (Michael Cera). Hanks and Cranston play basketball-loving sibling duo Leland and Reagan, respectively.

Hanks was all smiles at the movie's New York City premiere, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center. He posed for group photos with Anderson and other castmates, including Scarlett Johansson, F. Murray Abraham, Hope Davis, and Stephen Park. A video posted by The Hollywood Reporter shows Hanks enthusiastically greeting del Toro, 58.

Cranston Shares a Favorite Memory

Cranston shared a favorite memory from shooting Anderson's movie, saying, "I think it was when Tom and I, playing brothers, were absolutely marveling at what Benicio del Toro was asked to do. Massive amounts of very tricky dialogue."

"Tom and I are going, 'My God, I'm so glad I don't have that role,'" adds Cranston. "We were saying to [del Toro], 'What can we do for you? What can we bring you? Can I massage your feet?'"

The Phoenician Scheme hits theaters on Friday, May 30.
