Red Band Trailer for Wes Anderson's 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'
Wes Anderson movies don't aren't what immediately come to mind when one thinks of red band trailers, but here's one for The Grand Budapest Hotel which is now playing in some select cities. There are some brief sexual encounters and glimpses of nudity to be found, and mostly they occur around the same point in the film if memory serves.
Ralph Fiennes leads a cast that includes Tony Revolori, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Owen Wilson, with the story centering on a legendary concierge at the titular hotel. With his loyal lobby boy they get caught up in the case of some missing Renaissance art, but the film is more than just some mad comedy caper. It's Anderson again showing his love for bygone eras and a more refined way of life. There's a good chance this will be an even bigger hit than last year's Moonrise Kingdom.
The Grand Budapest Hotel opens wide March 14th.
