Trailer for Wes Anderson's new film The Darjeeling Limited. As ever for his films, flawless trailer. The line by Schwartzman (an actor I've come to like more and more with every part) about family members being friends is terrific, too.

Check it out in beautiful Quicktime here.



I remember coming out of The Life Aquatic with friends worried that Anderson has become too aesthetically devoted and mannerist, and returning to the same idea over and over... The lovable cad who brings everyone together, adults acting like kids, and then all the production design and borrowed visual details from classic art movies to go with. Remember this Amex ad he did from last year?



But hey, Wes Anderson gotta eat, right..?

It's hard to tell from a trailer but this one looks warm and human. And last year I worked on a job with the incredible Pawel Wdowczak, the amazing sound mixer and recordist who plays the sound recordist in The Life Aquatic. Two things he told me were that Life Aquatic was hampered by some incredibly difficult shooting conditions, and the new movie was sounding terrific. Well it's one hell of a trailer... It looks absolutely exquisite. And it reminds me of what a damned interesting filmmaker he is... It's like I've missed him.

(p.s. Martin, I read the Harry Potter book in a day and a half so I could use the Internet without fear of having ten years of Dickensian plotting ruined for me)
