Wes Anderson
I am happy to hear that Wes Anderson seems to have taken on a remake of French “My best friend,” starring the great French actor Daniel Auteuil which some of you might know from the terrible, terrible movie “Cache.” It (the remake, that is) is supposedly called “The Rosenthaler Suite” and sounds very Anderson to me. Now why have I heard nothing about that on my favorite German Movie blog so far?
The Playlist apparently had a sneak peak into the script, suggesting a role for Owen Wilson. I wonder if he is already up for comedy again after the tragic events last year. Speaking of which, in the Anderson-movie “Darjeeling Express” Wilson has a short scene in which his character tells his mother that he had an accident, driving his motorbike into a hill (I am paraphrasing). A dark moment in the light of the events that were to take place only shortly after.
On happier news I found the great prequel to “Darjeeling Express” on YouTube will be happy to share it with you, dear readers.
