Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel Trailer

grandbudapest

It’s back to business as usual for Wes Anderson, who has seemingly restored his good standing with film critics after Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom and is now once again simply doing what he does best. His latest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, looks to be another quirky adventure comedy with plenty of cute costumes and exquisitely designed sets. The cast also consists of many familiar faces including Adrien Brody, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray.

The main leads, however, are new collaborators for Anderson with Ralph Fiennes playing Gustave H, the conciege at the famous Grand Budapest Hotel, and Tony Revolori as Zero Moustafa his trusty sidekick, the lobby boy. Saoirse Ronan also has a major role as well. It’s a period piece that appears to have been shot in a few different aspect ratios in order to help indicate the passage of time. There’s also a murder mystery, a painting theft and other hijinks set against the backdrop of the world wars… sounds good to me! The Grand Budapest Hotel hits theatres on March 7th, 2014; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.

    Looks great but I’m not diggin’ the lousy aspect ratio.

  • Napalm

    This looks so Wes Anderson’y haha. Digging the premise.

    Good trailer. Feels like a nice amalgamation of all of Wes Anderson’s film tropes combined with a bit of a whodunnit?

  • patrik

    Looks pretty amazing to me.

  • Tommy

    Anderson premium?

  • Sean

    Something to keep in mind for next March. The main problem is that there isn’t enough bad stuff to make fun of.

  • PickleFucker

    What is their bad to make fun of in the original Star Wars trilogy, Back to the Future, Alfred Hitchcock’s movies, the evil dead trilogy or the trilogy of the dead?

  • John Anthony

    i like the murder mystery plot. i guess it goes well with his latest attempt at cramming as many name actors as he can into a 90 minute film.

  • Christopher Harvey

    I wish it was all glorious 2.35:1, 1.66:1 makes it feel like I am missing so much of the amazing image.
