First Look: Darjeeling Limited
I was so thrilled yesterday when the trailer for the latest Wes Anderson project, Darjeeling Limited, hit the Internet. Starring the adorable Adrien Brody with his all-innocence-all-the-time-eyebrows, along with Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson, the movie looks more outright funny than some of Anderson's works (like The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou), but less obnoxious than, say, a typical Owen Wilson movie (You, Me and Dupree, I'm looking at you... all three of you).

Darjeeling Limited Prequel Hits iTunes
Hotel Chevalier, Wes Anderson's prequel to the forthcoming Darjeeling Limited, has been getting quite a bit of press this week — both because it's pretty unconventional to release a prequel like this and because Natalie Portman (briefly) gets naked in it. The 13-minute short film is available free on iTunes, and if you're a fan of Anderson, Portman, Jason Schwartzman or any combination of the three, it's worth checking out.
The short, which was made a year before Darjeeling started filming, takes place entirely in the Paris hotel room of Schwartzman's character.
The Darjeeling Limited: Another Study in Dysfunction
For years, director Wes Anderson has had his finger on the pulse of severely dysfunctional families. His latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, is no exception. The film tells the story of Francis, Peter and Jack Whitman, three brothers who haven't seen each other since their father's funeral a year ago.
Darjeeling Is Not Limited to the US
The lovably quirky men of The Darjeeling Limited premiered their movie at the London Film Festival last night. Owen Wilson was too busy with his dates with Jessica Simpson (and other ladies) to attend, but the rest of the guys were there to represent. Gotta love Wes and Jason's old school bow ties while Adrien went for a black leather ensemble instead of his cool metallic suit.
The Darjeeling Limited With Marc's Special Touch
The Darjeeling Limited opened the New York Film Festival on Friday, in typical Wes Anderson-quirky style. Not only did he premiere his back story short film starring Natalie Portman at the Apple Store on Tuesday, but the night before the big screening most of the cast and some friends gathered to unveil the special LV luggage that Marc Jacobs designed specially for the movie — loving the jungle animals! I'm sure Owen was missed by the rest of the Wes Anderson gang on the red carpet.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below, 30 Days of Night is available if you have the need to get the bejesus scared out of you, and you can finally catch the emotional Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale on DVD.
Owen's Surprise Appearance At Darjeeling LA Premiere!
Owen Wilson was the man of the hour, shocking everyone by showing up at last last night's LA premiere of The Darjeeling Limited! He only stayed for a little, but looked fantastic and, more importantly, happy next to his friends. As for the rest of the crew, Natalie can do no wrong, but looked a little out of character and a bit uncomfortable in this fiery red number.
What's Your Favorite Wes Anderson Movie?
News about another Wes Anderson movie (even if it's not a Wes Anderson original) got me thinking about his ever-growing canon of work. I'll always be partial to Bottle Rocket because it was my first introduction to the brothers Wilson and I still crack up thinking about it, but I have a deep love for Rushmore, too. And who can deny the brilliance of The Royal Tenenbaums?
