A Bit Of Behind-The-Scenes From THE DARJEELING LIMITED!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
It’s obviously been a strange week for Owen Wilson fans, and our best wishes go out to him from the entire editorial staff of AICN. Wilson’s been a favorite of mine since the moment he arrived onscreen in BOTTLE ROCKET, and one of the things that has always fascinated me about him is that mix of unflappable confidence and the complicated undercurrents of emotion that he plays even in the broadest comedies.
With THE DARJEELING LIMITED, he’s back in Wes Anderson land, and I’m excited to see what they’ve come up with. I think it’s going to be a little weird for audiences when they learn why exactly his character is bandaged in the film, but I’m also confident that Anderson’s fans are smart enough to separate fact from fiction.
A number of new behind-the-scenes featurettes just appeared online this week, and they offer a tantalizing glimpse at what we can expect from this one when it opens later this year. They showed up at both the official site and over at iKlipz, allowing me to imbed them here. Even so, you might like checking out the official site, even if you watch these versions of the clips:
The Temple Of 1000 Bulls
The Lost Train
On The Motorcycle
The Caboose
Hey there,
They've posted four behind the scenes video clips over at Fox Searchlight's site for THE DARJEELING LIMITED.
They are wonderful unnarrated mosaics of life on Wes's whimsical set.
Enjoy,

So Wilson's character in the film attempted suicide?
by rickey henderson
Pretty crazy. I'm definitely hoping he gets better soon. While his mainstream stuff isn't great, any time he teams up with Anderson he's brilliant.
-
Still, am I the only one who thinks Owen Wilson's suicide attempt isn't news? Fuck him.
All that said, love Wes Anderson and everything he's done, especially Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic (which, as I've said before, is one of those movies that, if you didn't love it, you just weren't ready yet). Can't wait for this one. -
Then don't see any of his other films since all his stories re-tread the same ideas. Why not shock us Wes and NOT write a story about family problems. This film has no Bill Murray so no reason even to rent it. Soundtrack should be good, though. I do feel it's the mark of a weak director when so much emotion comes from the soundtrack and not from the stiff performances of the actors. But thats just me.
-
Anyone have any idea whether or not Mark Mothersbaugh is doing the score for this? His scores for Life Aquatic and Tenenbaums are some of my favorites of recent years.
-
dont know why it was so hated
-
is to create very original movies, where tragic moments are inextricably linked with the more cheerful ones. It's a bittersweet life.
-
I'm so excited I'm freaking out.
-
Looks sweet
-
for this. Also - No Country For Old Men must be here NOW. Also - There Will Be Blood. Gonna be a good fall/winter.
-
Bottle Rocket was great.
The End. -
And Wes is one of the best around today. Not a lot of people will see this because it lacks endless explosions and/or robots of some sort. Ask people at work if they have seen Rushmore or Royal Tenenbaums... you would be surprised how many people haven't. It's sad and funny at the same time, well that's Wes. And yes, Mothersbaugh is doing part of the score.
-
I was wrong.
-
but the movie was terrible. The bulk of the movie shot in wide masters? Come on, the greatness of Bill Murray and Owen Wilson resides in their subtlety and that works best in at least medium shots. Would have been a different movie with better coverage. On the other note, really hope it all works out for Owen Wilson. Big fan of his from Bottle Rocket all the way up.
-
then I hope this is a Bollywood-riffic score. Still - sucks that Mark's taking the movie off. He should only be allowed to NOT score an Anderson movie if it's because he's doing a massive DEVO tour. That I can see.
-
Then I guess that Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Rushmore, Kill Bill, & Donnie Darko just weren't your cup of tea, right?
-
I realize that it takes a couple of viewings to really "get" a Wes Anderson movie. Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and Royal Tenenbaums were all like that. At first you kind of just absorb what is happening, laugh at the oddities, and then think about it when you get home. Then you keep thinking about it, and you want to watch it again, and then again. Then you realize that they are truly masterpieces in their own way.
Problem with Life Aquatic was, I wasn't intrigued enough with what I saw the first viewing to see it a second time. -
Particuarly people who don't know shit about film. He has a cult following, I happen to love all his films. Compared to some directors, I think wes anderson actually shows that film is an art.
-
That looks cool! like an Indian Easy Rider mixed with the Beatles or something weird!
And shows how much effort goes into filmmaking to make it look so effortless!Looking forward to this a lot nownice vidsthanks -
The Alec Baldwin VO: "Immediately after making this statement, Royal realized it was true." That remains one of my favorite lines of all time from one of my favorite films. Oh, and I thought Life Aquatic was a dungheap of failure. That said, I will always give a WA movie my full attention, and I hope he gets back to form with this one.
-
Not liking everything Anderson has done does NOT mean you don't know shit about film. (although I do have particular affection for most of his work) All great directors have their ups & downs. Great example: Terry Gilliam. He's had flashes of brilliance and some truly awful work, does it "average out" and make him an average director? Nope. Terry (like Wes) is a true visionary who takes risks. The fact that I couldn't stand Tideland doesn't mean that I don't know shit about film does it?
-
that's what i wanna know...secondly, if he doesn't get the academy's recognition this time around, i will have to travel half-way around the world to unleash my wrath upon them. schartzman looks so odd with that mustache...he's a great actor though, so subtle, great with facial expressions...anderson's one of my favorite filmmakers around, and i've been waiting a while for this film...i don't get all the hate on TLA, i thought it was close to a masterpiece, the way they built the boat set and shot some sequences, totally original and grondbreaking...let's see what he comes up with for this one!
-
On Wes Anderson's "Darjeling Express," the Cohen Brothers find there is "No Country for Old Men," and David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises" "There Will Be Blood" for Paul Thomas Anderson.
-
Man, what a good year. New Wes Anderson film. New P.T. Anderson film. New Coens film. Aaahh...
